An interesting interconnect experiment

Hello,

Amm ... We are not concerned with capacitance and inductance for name sake. We are concerned about phase and speed.

Yes lower capacitance is nice but not with higher inductance. Lower inductance is good but not with high capacitance. You cannot seem to have both for long wires. You will have to come up with compromise because you can only go so far.

Twisted pairs are closer in distance. Yes. So in theory these will have higher capacitance. However, these will have lower inductance since the length of wire will be shorter since less unnecessary slack in the wire. You can ideally make interconnect with infinite distance away from each other but that ain't going to happen. Besides, parallel wires will pick up crap.

Silver? Copper? I ain't touching the suject. I just don't use silver because it is harder to deal with chemically and economical not efficient. Oxidized silver is an insulator and that will give you some weirdness. Buying silver wire insulated with teflon will be pretty expensive. Only solution for me is to get the wire and insulate it at home. ... That is messy task and I got quarter mile of teflon insulated mil-spec wire. You see my position.
