RE: ferrofluid and interconnects

Wow!

Think I'll stick with masking tape and magnet wire, not nearly as complicated and messy...

I wonder if some of the "speed" increase isn't due to mechanical damping? Wires propagate vibrations a lot more efficiently than one might suppose and that can smear the signal if the insulation isn't electrically "hard" and they also mechanically couple the gear at either end to some extent.

What if you modified the cable the same way but just used a similar viscosity mineral oil? If it works as well it wouldn't leave as dark a stain on the carpet when it leaks!
