Thanks for that, Jim. Pretty much what I expected, with the (for many
counter-intuitive) result that the high capacitance cable had the
flattest response - the expected result of having a better
characteristic impedance match.


You could also say that it is the low inductance cable that has the
flattest response.
That's not at all counter-intuitive.



So which are you going to pick, and under what circumstances? Go with
the characteristic impedance and you will be right every time, because
it contains both L and C in the correct proportions.
