Sean's contribution is very significant. About time we provided something in return.
I submit that Sean, like all respectable Irishmen, needs a drink & a project. I expect that too much of the latter probably robs him of the former:) -- unfortunately...
I'm too far away to supply the drink.
HOWEVER, I can supply an extra, "A'gon", project: designing a symmetrical rca-terminated IC cable:
Being an experienced RF-er, Sean can easily do the calculations required for rca terminated cables -- to whit, rca being ASYMMETRIC, what's the wiring geometry, implementation technique, etc, to make the cable symmetric within the audio frequencies range...
I.e., diametre ratio b/ween hot & return wires, how many twists/length, shielding necessary (or can we do without, for now), etc.
Say we use enamel-coated copper to make things simple...
How about that?
I'm joking, although I've been trying to crack this nut with indifferent succes for some time now!
Good to have you around, Sean!
