I just got a 20ft headphone extension made from Mogami 2893 and there's slight audible high frequency loss. Mogami claims approximately "23pf + 3pf + 4pf" per foot between shield and pairs of conductors, but then they say "40pf + 50pf" per foot in balanced quad configuration. To me that looks like 3x the capacitance, and would be 1800pf for a 20 ft extension.
Is there a way to wire this cable for minimum capacitance?
