I have read a lot of web sites, watched the Youtube videos and searched the fourms here....all to be terribly more confused then when I thought I had it figured out.

[size=small]In a basic RCA to RCA interconnect, does the ground need to be of equal or greater signal strength then the source wire?[/size]

my other questions will depend on the answer.

They dont have to be equal.

Edited:
there is a school of thought that says that DELIBERATELY making them unequal (with the ground resistance very low, and the signal resistance fairly high) may be to your advantage.

I am going to make a silver interconnect loosely based on the Venhaus recipe. Silver for the ground seems wasteful so will be using this wire:
This wire is silver plated copper, not pure silver. Its core wire is 22awg solid silver plated copper, and perpendicular surrounded by tight fine silver filaments.
I hope it works.

Neat!

People have been making dis similar wire IC's for ages, sounds like fun.
