around), and tied every other wire in parallel, as the hot side, and every other wire in
parallel as the return side, the inductance was lower by a factor of 10. When you
think of it, if you take some cables that are supposed to look like 75 R, and you par-
allel 10 of these pairs, it should have pretty flat response, quite suitable for driving an
84 load. Much better than some of the monstrous huge cables, and less bulky, and
much cheaper, too.
