I talked on the phone with a chap today who
told me he had a very good idea for a high-end
loudspeaker cable.

Isn't "HighEnd Speaker Cable" synonymous with "Scam"?

No doubt right down your alley, Iain.

I think, Arny, the expression is right "up" your alley:-)

He asked if anyone at the workshop in which I
have a share would be willing to make this cable for
him. One chap has agreed. The initial order is for
600 metres in 3 metre lengths.

It was based upon some thick twin co-axial with
two separate shields. He had then connected
the screen of the left wire to the inner of the right
wire, and the inner of the left wire to the screen
of the right wire.

Since each cable has two screens, and which screen to use is not stated,

No. Each inner has one screen. The term he used
was "cross connected" I think that is clear enough.

the instructions are gibberish.
The instructions are clear

So is the engineering.
Did I say otherwise?

He replied: "I have. It does. At Euro 25 a metre!"

Hey, people are also buying small quantities of tubed equipment. Go
figure!

The initial order is for 600metres. Go count:-)
