What is Low Impendance for an interconnect?

The second quote from Mr. Sanders (all well-designed interconnects sound identical) is so bizarre that I personally wouldn't believe another word he said. I realize that "well designed" are the weasel words.

Wow thats a hard one!!

A further point concerning his emphasis on low resistance in interconnects. Referring to some "poorly designed" interconnects, he states:

Some of these interconnects with tiny wires have several thousand ohms of resistance and can adversely effect the frequency response of your system.

It is unimaginable to me that any half-way competent designer would create an interconnect cable having a resistance that remotely approached several thousand ohms. In fact very few designs (poor or not) approach even a few ohms, for typical lengths. And most would be less than 1 ohm for typical lengths.

As I indicated earlier, the resistance of analog interconnect cables is usually not a significant parameter.

It is unimaginable to me that any half-way competent designer would create an interconnect cable having a resistance that remotely approached several thousand ohms.

The only one that I can think of is David Magnan and his Magnan Signature interconnect, which has a resistance of 30,000 ohms for a 4 foot length using Teflon ribbon conductors (non-metallic). I can attest that this cable makes a terrible phono cable, though sounded surprisingly good in the line stage.

Hey John -- re the reference to 30,000 ohm/4' length phono I/Cs gives me an idea. Don't you think it would be cheaper to simply use string to connect the phono and linestage together? Or one could just have an open circuit.
