a frequency-variable resistor Re: request for braid data (was Another grounding question)



aaah, wouldn't a frequency variable resistor be an inductor?  (if you wanted
more ohms with increasing freq) Or perhaps a capacitor??? (for the opposite
effect)

by the way, braid is weird stuff - I was recently playing with high end
audio equipment, and I found that an 8 inch cable made of twinax (coax with
two outer braids) dramatically reduced the quality of sound over almost any
other type of cable, and this is just to carry the audio signal from a CD
player to an amp - I have no idea why this should be, but whatever the
effect, I would expect it to be magnified at higher frequencies.
