Cable Asylum: Some questions by Jon L

Hey, I was about to make some DIY cross-connect speaker cables from leftover Beldens from my Jon Rische twisted interconnect project, and I ran across your post. I've some questions.

· Instead of satellite cable (which we tested, by the way) we used a co-ax with nice soft annealed copper center conductor and air-gap dielectric.
--what's this? Solid core or stranded center (what gauge)? By "air-gap" do you mean the foamed teflon stuff, or do you have some magical coax with such a thing? What's the source of these coax cables? I have some Beldens from Jon Rische's recipe. Would these work?

Chuck everything else away
--You mean strip away the outer jacket, braid, etc to leave just the center conductor with foamed teflon around it just like Jon Risch's twisted interconnect recipe?

and use a 16-gauge Solo or Goertz flat copper foil speaker cable (or unroll an inductor) as the outer tubular conductor
--Goertz MI1 or 2? Do you leave the teflon jacket of Goertz intact or stripped? Do you wrap the outer tube in contact with center conductor surrounded by foam or leave a lot of air in between, just moving freely.
Does this cable sound that much better than Goertz MI1 or 2 by itself?

Interconnects! Temporarily forget theory. Use the same construction technique as above, but replace the center conductor with a carefully stripped length of wire-wrap wire (one strand, insulation removed). Pull this through as you extract the copper, by soldering them together first.
--This is very confusing. what gauge solid core wirewrap wire is this? Is it copper? If you remove the insulation, wouldn't the center wire and the tubing touch each other and ruin it? How do you keep them from coming in contact? Do you purely rely on Goertz's tubing's teflon jacket by leaving that intact?

Souds like an interesting project. Just bizarre enough to peak my interest. Thanks.
