Don't see many 'verts!

2 sets of cables have been made, and will ship Monday.

AS I wrote, my stock was stored about an hour away, any delay was from my wish to not buy anything; particularly when...

One person is in Texas, the OP in Alabama.

We shall see!

I thought it was informative.

Ummm, that's speaker wire, which is not shielded, twisted pair, balanced cables.

Exactly, probably just fine for most cases. Even balanced cables are debatable in terms of usefulness. Maybe in some situations.

I run balanced cables from my preamp to my crossovers. Nuetrik connectors/Canare wire. I built these 4 cables which are 26 ft. long to get my crossovers and amps closer to my speakers. I also run Audio Magic Excaliber II balanced cables from my SACD to the preamp.

2 sets went out Monday, we'll see how they're received.

Hey exhippy, want a set? Got a little 9451 left.

PM, if you would.

I have no fear about running balanced cables long distances, but one thing I've always been curious about is that everyone shields from electromagnetic interference using non-magnetic components; copper or aluminum, generally.

I'd think that a magnetic metal would act like the shielding on old watches and would make the magnetic interference travel around the signal carrying conductors.
