@tomthiel I've read my messages with Rob Gillum again and must admit that he didn't say there was nothing to be done if the problem were with the ferrofluid of the coaxes 

just sent him my broken coax today.. I'm sure he'll do a good repair job (I thought he could do with some practice..)

After giving it some thought I was thinking the same thing about the pos/neg length differences and how they would affect the sign wave timing .  Also after pricing out the wire I would want it became to expensive to consider trying as an experiment that may or may not work .

But reading about that cable design I discovered the Iconoclast cables designed by Galen Gareis a former Belden cable engineer , these cannot be DIY'ed .  they have a similar design to the Alpha Goertz in that the positive and negative are laying flat one on top of the other .  Not cheap but at under $1090 for 6 ft within reach .

Available from Blue Jeans Cable .

Galen knows his beans. His braided cable is quite similar to THAT ($1000/pair-foot) Kimber braided cable that opened my ears and changed my mind in the early 80s. Is Galen offering flat conductor cable? Blue Jeans accepts returns. Keep us posted.

The cable designed by Galen is much different than any Goertz cable. TomD

The only cable I see on the BJ or Iconoclast site is the braided one. That is an extremely difficult geometry to get right. I suspect Galen has gotten it right, and it's worth a try if it's within your budget.
