"Both cables were hand soldered during manufacturing, yet it is clear that the cable on the left did not alter the diameter of the white colored dielectric while the cable on the right did."

There are two dielectrics in each picture. The one surrounding the center conductor and the one surround the shield. The one around the center conductor looks fine to me. The one around the shield has to be the way it is due to the kind of connector used. It looks like a plastic affair and is deffinately cheaper but should not create a serious impedence missmatch.

To use an example I am sure you are aware of from audio clinics, just remove the case on your gear and see if the internal wiring is as pure as you are striving for your external cabling to be. Have you ever actually tried measuring the output inpedence of various audio/video gear, it does vary.

However, I find your article very good and highly praise you for your discussion.
