Earnest...my interest was peaked when I looked at the "M" after your handle.You can look at Jon's posts on teflon vs PVC and form your own conclusions but I'm curious as to a response you made to a a user's comments regarding your own ELF Custom cables.
Are you seriously thinking about changing your thermoplastic covered cables to teflon ? Have you tried ? Last, is HDPE (high density polyethylene) used in your cable the same as PVC as you called it thermoplastic in your post ?

Hello PeAk,I used teflon in my first generation silver product's,but found teflon to bright.I later moved to a thermoplastic insulation called HDPE(High Definition Polyethylene).I find my HDPE to offer a nice blend of detail without brightness,and also keep bass in tact.It is also less exspensive than Teflon,allowing me to keep prices low.There are several form's of Thermoplastic insulation including,PVC,PE,Polypropylene,and Teflon,they are all form's of plastic.
Thank's,Ernest Farley.
HDPE is typically High Density Poly Ethylene, not High Definition.BTW, the combination of silver and teflon requires a LOT of burn-in, until it fully settles in, it would have been on the bright side.
(HDPE IS TYPICALLY HIGH DENSITY POLY ETHYLENE,NOT HIGH DEFINITION POLY ETHYLENE)
John you are partly correct,HDPE is typically high density polyethylene,but I have a propriety version designed specifcally for my cables that I call HDPE*(High Definition PolyEthylene).Ernest Farley.
