Just some interesting stuff on the tech side:"that has 78 microns of extruded silver on the surface."
This is just another way to say "silver plated copper", I thought it is generally agreed on AA that silver plated copper doesn't sound too good, you either go for pure copper or pure silver. But I guess this does not apply when a $3000 cable is the subject.
" The surface of each conductor is highly polished before a high precision micro monofilament wrap is applied."
What material is this monofilament wrap made off, better dielectric than air or teflon?
"eight Teflon tubes are then bonded with a proprietary technique."
This is a real kicker, any tech can be call proprietary, a twist pair can be named proprietary just because how close I twist them together are different from others.
"This design reduces dielectric contact by a factor of more than 80%."
This was compare to what? what dielectric was it talking about? what construction method was it compare to?
"Extremely mechanically stable,"
For a compenently designed cable (be it commercial or DIY), it's difficult to make it NOT mechanically stable, it's not rocket science ... not like makeing a turntable ...
" the conductors are effectively suspended in inert air, preventing oxidation."
So I assuem the air in the teflon tube is vacuumed out and injected with an inert air, then the ends are water/air tight SEALED. If this is the case, this is something to pay for.
