You mean, in your system, I'm certain.

I had been talking about my system, yes. Mind you, it is not my system that is
causing the insulated cable hiss, non insulated cables do not hiss.

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would pile money into cabling. My house is
open to anyone wanting to see for themselves how insulation causes capacitance
white noise.

Muralman1,
How do you keep non-insulated cables from shorting out?

Saranwrap of course. Look at his system.

Ribbons can actually act as antennas. He's concerned with insulation (rightfully) yet uses antenna for speaker cables in an strong RFI/EMI environment.

He may make it work, but it will likely be a reactive system, particularly to digital devices, which he has stated that it is.

Anticables work extremely well with the latest Spectron amps, used as monoblocks. I'm biwiring Vandersteen 5a's, using 4 anticables per side. Very quiet background, very musical.
