It is good to find people here that know the late Allen Wright! I have copied some of his cable designs (and I got two Sony players upgraded by him). His cable cookbook was very interesting read.
By the way, for the sake of the discussion on capacitance on flat stacked cables: due to laziness, instead of going the full DIY way, I used some old Goertz MI2 cable with the Devialet. (Goertz ribbon copper is the matter Townshend Isolda and Electrofluidics is made of!!). By far the best result I have ever had with Devialet, and no problem with capacitance (since Devialet is not too much based on NFB). The best naturalness and musicality, also tridimensionality. I'm not even using the zobel networks provided.
Next, I have sent a couple of cables to Frozensolid.co.uk to have them Cryo'ed. (which is the main difference then with the Isoldas). There was an article by Keith Howard in HFNews in 2001 about Cryoing Isolda cables and comparing them back and forth, and the difference was "astounding". You can get and extract of it midway the page here:

Frozen solid "cryoes" for Townshend and also Russ Andrews too. But their main business is automotive racing parts!
I have not received them back - will report when I get them!
