There's a designer in Colorado, Jeremy Walsh (a.k.a. Jerry) who has spent the past few years developing a liquid-filled cable technology. www.audio-magic.com. Apart from high-grade connectors that fit snugly and securely, these cables are exceptionally flexible which is a pleasant change from too-stiff designes that have to be wrestled into position, or lift equipment into the air
Basically Jerry has experimented with various conductive gels and termination techniques and come up with a combination that sounds very well to my ears. Or more accurately, the cable seems to be quite free of any particular sound of its own.
That this could be so, with a design approach that has little to do with the more usual approach of metal conductors, insulators, air-tubes, returns and the like, is surprising and encouraging. It also points out that there may yet be news ways of doing what we do in audio that deliver excellent results.
