Hello James
I need to acquire some good RCA interconnects to use with my Bryston and as I need five pairs I'm going to have to make them myself or risk precipitating a new financial crisis. I thought I could do worse than to copy the Bryston design more or less. That design is - as I have surmised from various posts - Canare 75 ohm coaxial cable finished with a variant of the Neutrik Profi plugs.
I'm cool with the Neutriks. But I started to wonder whether there was a particular engineering reason that I don't understand for the choice of coaxial cable rather than, say, a shielded twisted pair. I would have thought that the latter would be the ultimate in unbalanced interconnects.
Sure, it probably makes no difference - I've been using plain coaxial RCAs forever and only ever had one hum loop issue with them - but I'm still thinking there might be some positive reason for the choice of coaxial cable.
Thanks James for all your good posts here.
