Electrostatic speaker cables...

Hmmm..... They recommend a speaker cable that doesn't exist. Finding a cable with all three of those characteristics at the same time might be a good trick. Nordost's are "reasonable" in terms of inductance and capacitance but have a higher nominal impedance. Kimber's have low inductance, a "medium" nominal impedance but are a little higher in capacitance.

Try checking out the Dunlavy's. I have NO personal experience with them nor am i familiar with all of their specs, but John Dunlavy has stated that they are the "most technically correct" cables on the market and offer a nominal 8 ohm impedance. Given that John is a true engineer in every sense of the word, they may at least be worth looking into. Sean

I've gotten good results with Homegrown Audio Silver Lace speaker cables with my Acoustat 1+1 ESL's.

I, of course am biased to my own... but Dunlavy's cables are very capacitive, that is how they achieve a nominal "8 ohm" characteristic impedance.

The cables I use and make are both low inductance and low capacitance. I use ESLs and so do some of my friends, they like the cables too.

Can I say that here? Hope so.

Bear, i kinda figured that they were relatively high capacitance based on the physical description and geometry that AudioEngr previously provided, but i was not sure.

As to posting a plug for your own cables, i don't see a problem with that. That is, so long as you make it clear that you are associated with the product and / or have some type of financial interest in that product line. You did that, so i don't see why anyone would get upset about it. It would be different if you went the "sockpuppet" route and raved about your product and then responded as Bear to further plug your product line. Sean

Since I own electrostatic speakers myself I will dare giving it a shot, although my opinion could be biased, since I have eventually become importer of said cables.
But when I was on my cable quest, looking for the perfect set of cables and discovered that HMS Gran Finale will do a great job and at that time at least, I did not have any finical interest in mind, when I decided that in my system, with Prodigy speakers and Bel canto amps, (later I switched to Wolcott tube amps) the Gran Finale were offering a very sweet and neutral sound.
When you have ESL speakers you need a fast cable, and according to Dr. Strassner who did the math, the Gran Finale is faster than our direct competition.
