[QUOTE="Ben78, post: 41176, member: 206"] Don't get wrapped up in litz/not litz (lol) Litz is a style of wire. The reason it is used is because each individual strand in the bundle is enamelled, and reduces the internal capacitance of the bundle. Capacitance between strands reduces the ability of a coil to decay at the short timeframes required to sample and still detect very small gold. Litz wire was originally designed for high speed RF communication data lines, which specifically needs low internal capacitance to conserve the signal. Seeing as Litz isn't the only option in the high speed RF world there are other cable solutions that can be used and still achieve the fast decay times required for detecting small gold. For all anyone knows Coiltek may well use Litz, or Shenzen Ziang brand of individual strand enamelled low capacitance wire but choose not advertise the fact. (It has been suggested that the Coiltek Goldstalker bLITZ may well use Litz brand wire.) [/QUOTE]
