I enjoy reading about your Cabling project as well. The Panel,  has quite a few DIY guys here. Keep up the excellent work and have fun!

Happy Listening!

Are you using those Ayre wood blocks under your gear? If so, how do you have it configured?  Good to read that you are engaging tweaks to your system as well.
Happy Listening!

Sir , you are going way beyond anything I would have imagined ,
I never expected to have created this much curiosity ,
let alone you taking time to actually set up tests that can be measured .

Straight wire's original configuration balances the yin and yan
( just as every manufacture tries to with their different designs )
within one cable as you measured in configuration A
and when they are used in your C configuration
maybe that balance is lost ? 
Maybe a similar measurement might happen if you taped the 2 cables together in configuration A ?

While I'm retired from over 30 years in repairing medical equipment 
where a resistor is just a resistor and a capacitor is just a capacitor 
this " Audiophile " world has a lot of VooDoo magic ,
I'm having more fun than I imagined or can measure , ha ha .

Rob - I am a sucker for tracking down stuff I don't understand. I think I will try taping A and A to see what happens. My interest stems from the tendency to replace a wire with a better wire and like it better. Often throwing money at a problem makes it better, even if just in our own minds. I do know that Jim took internal wiring very seriously and tweaked it for years. I don't want to blunder into undoing any of his work by substituting a different solution. On the other side of that coin, I think it highly likely that Beetle, you and others have bettered the outcome. I must quantify such betterments, assess potential pitfalls and decide how to proceed. The puzzle is eternal.
