I'm not sure what the "interelement sense" is. Should I work on
developing that..;-)

dont worry lumpy either ya got it or ya dont... and i'm not sure it's not more of a hinderence...
by interelement they mean parasitic loses caused by things like poor board layout and lack of detail in wiring in say hard wired tube amps...
"the most basic definition of a capacitor is two conductors separated by a dielectric (insulation), thus by definition, even though it's not what we consider a capacitor, a cable is in fact a poor quality capacitor"
but that's not the definition most of us use.... beacause it's not conductors in the sense of 2 paralell connections as in a cord... it's more a matter of 2 plates which have only 1 connection each separated by the dialectic such that DC voltage is blocked from passing but fluctuations (our signal) on one of the plates then induces movement on the other.... a cable does have some capacitence... inthe interelemental sense by virtue of having 2 conductors running paralell separated by dialectics... but having capacitence in the quality sense does not in and of itself make it a capacitor....
"The pickup, cable, and input of the amp form a circuit. Change any of them, the characteristics of the circuit change. Amps have different input impedances, therefore will have a different results. "
move to the head of the class....
and if we cared enough to anaylize the circuit and looked up the RC time constants... i'ld be willing to bet that the inputs where the cable is problematic has a lower impedence (roughly 10k verses 100k-1meg) .... so the highs end up being rolled off....
