ultra low capacitance cables

Brent: You're in a situation that i don't normally deal with. After reviewing it, it has helped me to better understand a few things about mass produced tube based systems and why they sound as they do. I really have to think about this a bit and even then, i might not have much of an answer for you. One thing does come to mind though and it involves a DIY type project. Using such an approach, one can build a cable of whatever quality level that they chose to. I don't know if you are interested in such things, but if you are, let me know. Sean

Brainwater...'less than 850 ohms' is quite high even for a tube preamp, although I have seen 2000 ohms quoted. High output impedance makes you sensitive to cable capacitance (HF roll off) and noise pickup. When I was into tubes, 600 ohms was the common value for 12AU7 cathode followers. Solid state preamps run 50 ohms and sometimes less.

Thanks Sean , sure you know I am interested. Lets talk . You have my e mail address i think. Eldartford , your comments and help are always insightful and appreciated. Any suggestions?

Suggestions:
1. DIY as Sean suggests (unless you just want to get rid of some money). You can buy wire and connectors just as good as what the high priced labels use.
2. Keep them short (again as Sean suggests).

With your tube gear I do think that the interconnects can affect sonic quality. I myself have good but not exotic interconnects because my stuff is all SS, 50 ohms or less.

Thanks Eldartford . You are always much help to many of us.
