Yes, I did talk to Kevin and I also talked to Robet Ridgestreet and said I would hook them up, but it's been hectic. Both Robert and Kevin are very busy these days. I've been on narcotics last week because of a nasty foot surgery...still hurts and no refills!!!
What I propose is not running the shielded Cardas inside the tube. Instead, running 8 Litz wires inside (two per pin) and twisting each channel separate in a
star quad configuration. That's just going to drop the noise floor and expand the cabling bandwith. Has anyone heard how good that 30 cents/ft 16/4 Carol in line speaker wire sounds? Imagine doing that to Cardas Litz!
As to how I would like connections, I don't know yet and am not discarding any ideas. I've started to notice top notch TT owners (megabuck) tend to dislike DIN rattail phono cables because of interchannel issues and prefer individual L/R cables with RCA to RCA connections. This is in spite of the lower impedance of a DIN plug. Now, I don't know how ZuCable has managed that with the Xaus.
Once again, I'm just brainstorming & since I can't move around too much am doing a lot of archive searching regarding this subject.
