Does anyone know what the difference in inductivity and capacitance would be between the following two designs?
Start with the same copper mutli-strand wire, strands being twisted in a rope-lay configuration, entire wire enclosed in PVC insulation. You want to tri-wire your speakers. You construct one pair of speaker cables from this wire in a form of two parallel leads having their jackets conjoined by a strip of jacket material, essentially a ZIP cord. You end up with 3 independent ZIP cords in your tri-wire application. You construct another pair of speaker cables in a form of twisted configuration, where each lead, positive and negative, in total 6 leads (because of tri-wire) are intertwined in a braid, something like Kimber 8TC cable, Which of the two constructions would exhibit larger inductance, which larger capacitance? |

The braided cable will have less inductance and more capacitance.

In general, the closer the wires are to each other, the more capacitance there will be, and the less inductance. Vice versa if they are further apart of course.
