It's nice to see them talk about oscillators and stuff, but when they fail to acknowledge the presence of aerodynamics they lose all credibility in my book. The shielded rounded cables are usually twisted pair too, and should be better protected from the pollution that *really* matters: fans and powercables. I'm not saying either one is better, I'm just saying the difference is too small to matter, at least when comparing to the noise the cable is presented with from other sources than crosstalk. _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
