Awesome stuff Steve! Thank you. The fact that you and many such as yourself, take so much time out here to share your knowledge is such a great benefit to others such as myself... truly endearing of the hobby.
I've encountered the flat ribbon concept as an interconnect. My initial experimentation 3+ yrs ago with cable upgrades lead me to Mapleshade (amongst others). His development by "ear" lead him to believe the flat ribbon is the best transport for digital. I bought a few of his products to include flat ribbon copper digital interconnect. I truly enjoyed it for a few weeks, until it stoped working when I unplugged and replugged it in, as I shifted my components around... a bit of a quality control issue which he refunded the purchase price on. While I do get you are referring too a slightly different configuration, from the moment I pulled the ribbon out of the box, I did find the downside of the configuration to be its frailty. I would however imagine that could be overcome with design improvement.
I enthuaiastically look forward to your revisions of the helix design. It will take me time to do It all....so while I may seem rushing to make decisions on things now, it is only because I have a moment in life right now to dedicate to a lot of reading and mapping of plans, etc....by the time the I order products and they arrive, it will be a slower process of assembly and integration into my rig.
