Foil vs. Wire - Capacatance vs. Inductance

Posted by Jimbocky (A) on January 8, 2021 at 17:01:33

I think this is the place to ask my question. There are many cable experts here that know way more than I could ever comprehend.I am afraid it will blow my brink but here we go.

I am running a balanced system. This question is for both speaker cables and interconnect as in balanced. Ribbon vs. Wire/Capacitance vs. Inductance is my question to be clear

Capacitance vs. Inductance.

Foil = higher capacitance. Wire = higher inductance.

I have used foil in crossovers and they were awesome.

I see that with foil interconnects they may overload a system causing uncontrolled oscillation.

What is the advantage and disadvantage or each. I need to find the more detailed explanation but this is the basic one:

I am looking very strongly at these speaker cables. Serious lack of skin effect:

Enclosed is a photo of my last crossovers a built. Going through various wire, Cardas, DIY etc. I understand the sonic differences for sure. But I have never played with ribbon cables for interconnect or speakers.

Thanks.
