Hi all, I'm going to knock together some interconnects and just wanted to double check as to the reasons one would choose one of these cables over the other. I'm almost positive the real world differences especially in such a short length of cable will be practically nothing and I imagine even with much longer runs I'd more than likely notice no difference but I'd like to go for what would theoretically be the most 'correct/appropriate'.
My understanding is that unless you are experiencing problems with grounding or a lot of interference etc, the most appropriate choice would be the 2549 (twisted pair) due to the lower capacitance. The only reason you would go with the 2534 (star quad) is if you were experiencing some of the previously mentioned problems, this would probably only be necessary in a studio or live venue type environment. Is this correct? The only quote I have noticed that makes me question this is 'Mogami 2534 provides an improvement in signal to noise of 10-20db over equivalent twisted pair cables', however I assume that is only when in a particularly noisy environment?
Assuming the above is correct, and even if it isn't, could somebody explain in simple terms the relevance of capacitance within cables please? What effect does it have?
Thanks for your time.
