Measurements and conclusion
Contents
The Van den Hul – The CNT measures very differently from other cables. In terms of capacitance, we don’t see anything crazy: an average of 80pF. That’s pretty normal for a 1.5m cable. But impedance, for example, is flat around 40 ohms. That’s high. The phase shift is at most 2 degrees. That’s insanely little. Inductance is around 800 nH, which in itself is not crazy, but the bump at the beginning is noticeable. The Yeti had that, too. Not sure why that is with CNT.
Finally, the conductance: it is obviously very low. However, it too is completely flat… something we never see with a metal conductor.
To relate it to listening is difficult. However, it is striking that this cable with virtually no phase distortion and a flat conduction characteristic brings so much calmness. Could there be a relationship?
To share, I just noticed this interesting (Dutch) article which impact/performance Graphene can have on cables. This article links to more detailed (English) information: https://www.bright.nl/nieuws/1171067/nieuwe-techniek-maakt-stroomkabels-effici-nter-dus-ook-elektrische-voertuigen.html
Yeah. I have seen that too. And after some googling some other interesting stuff.
