The Science of Cables

@taras22 
I'm sure you and Ken are justifiably proud of your cables.

The problem I have is the hyperbole.

Most metals' conductivity decreases when liquid. If there are any voids in the 'fill', conductivity drops like a stone.

The only natural metal liquid at room temperature is mercury which has 1/60 Cu conductivity. The DCR could be overcome by making the wire 60 times as large, but then L would decrease by a factor of about 6. C could be kept the same by changing dielectric.

So if one keeps R and C constant, changing L by a factor of 6, one has created a new filter and one that is probably quite audible. Depending on source and destination response, the new filter may be a plus and maybe not.

To claim "TEO’s Liquid Cable interconnect cables are best characterized by their absence of character. … etc." strains credibility.

If the cables are not in fact a flowing material, then the "Liquid" moniker is just more marketing malarkey.

Film?!?!?! go away! <vbg> Z-curve? Bleccchhh. I effing hated doing music for films and TV! Great music buried for a door slam or tire squeal. What a waste!

Very sorry to hear that your experience with the great sausage making machine was such a bummer. For me it was for the most part awesome, the crews were great, the problems were wild and crazy which forced you to do what I sometimes call "acoustic trauma surgery" ( like whatever it takes, just save the scene ). 

Thanks @taras22  and  @teo_audio for your contributions to this fascinating subject.
