Speaker cables from foil
#3
(08-May-2015, 00:28)Music or sound Wrote: I made some interconnects almost 20 years ago with Ag foil from Allen Wright and also some Cu foil speaker cables but found these designs having too high capacitance. Presently I am using Ag ribbons from Duelund (naked)  as speaker cables for my mids/highs  . Each ribbon is slightly twisted and inserted in a teflon tubing and 2 of these again slightly twisted and thus have a much lower capacitance. Quite happy with these for my application but not the ultimate for bass!

Hi,

Interesting what you say about high capacitance, but more so, how did this come out as a negative impact on SQ, or was it the amplifier that couldn't take it? 
In my case with Devialet, I have no negative effects SQ wise however I do not know how the amp will react.
At the time long before Devialet when I was getting into foils I tried Duelund as well but preferred Allans foil and construction.

About bass, I didn't lose any just got better definition.

Perhaps Dev deals better with capacitance!?
