Well, on the Sigma M2000 I have revised my hypothesis. I believe that the lower measuring cable has been damaged so some of the conductors are not connecting. This has lowered the overall capacitance reading. I'll be doing some surgery in the next...

Well at least one of these cables is the genuine article, because they do sound better than M1500. I did some comparisons with the first 15 minutes of Top Gun via my hot rodded Pioneer BDP-51FD (direct RCA connection from Wolfson DAC to my Bendix ...
