Really? I've read otherwise in the audio press. Also about the 75-ohm standard for S/PDIF cables. I can't judge it myself, I'm no expert. But many experts claim 50-ohm cables and RCA plugs/jacks to be problematic for digital connections. Moreover, what is the 50-ohm standard for RCA plugs worth for if it is worthless in your opinion?
In any event we're getting off topic. Actually I was just trying to counter your earlier statement...

...a conception that doesn't apply to «20-ohm» speaker cables like the ones in the linked patent paper (read it!).
