Title: George L Cable
Post by: jjasilli on May 16, 2014, 02:19:44 pm

Was skeptical but gave it a try.  Continuity sucks:  4Ω hot -to- hot; 0.5Ω ground -to- ground; 4MΩ hot -to- ground cross-talk.  What gives???


Any comments?

I never measured continuity with any George L's cable I used; just put the ends on and went.

Cable worked fine, had noticeably more treble. I took that as support for their claim of less capacitance.

But if cable capacitance is a concern, Gotham cable has the lowest published capacitance of anything out there.

I used GL for many years
It definitely has more highs than any other cable I have tried.
Not that I needed that many more highs, but really bad cables are just really bad



But now I use a wireless, just because it is way more convenient.
The wireless unit I use even has a cable simulator knob so you can roll off the highs if you want to
