Re: Glass as a Dielectric

As I understand it, the idea is to isolate the speaker cables from the room carpeting using material that is not conductive to static elcetricity. Since most carpeting contains nylon and other 'miracle' fibers that are subject to absorbing and storing static charges induced by the signals in the cables which then tend to contaminate the signal. Didn't realize that the DA of foam pipe insulation was so low. Good grade of Teflon is approx. 1.5-2.0.

Happy Listening !
