George, How is a constant impedance achieved with Neutral Reference interconnect?
A.) There is no such thing as a constant impedance cable. Inherently, the impedance of all cables varies with length and rate of change. The rising impedance standard in audio exaggerates the effects of cable impedance. To compensate for this effect we make the characteristic impedance of our Reference cables quite high and wind the conductors in the cable to match the propagation velocity of the dielectric. This combination smoothes the transfer of information in the cable and reduces the effects changing impedance. It dramatically reduces out of band resonance.
