Their theory that electrical resonance can be a problem with electrostatics has merit. However, there is no proof that it is a significant problem or if so, is audible. They do not show how this resonance can result in "brightness". In general, the things that they say such as: "So it is vitally important that the cables have low inductance" are true for all speakers, including electrostatics. They also say "Many cable manufacturers deliberately add a lot of capacitance to their cables.". This is simply not true. It is an artifact of designs that make the inductance very low, which is the primary goal.
Opinions on this "white paper"
I read InnerSounds white paper on cables and it sounded very logical. Any comments:
white paper
go to "Accessories"
then click on picture I/c's and cable
click on "white paper"
Briefly:
Co-axial speaker cable has lowest inductance and capacitance since the amp "sees" both + and - in the same place so it is the best.
All Well Designed interconnects sound the same and there is no such thing and time smear, etc. in I/C's.
