Individual cables have a higher inductance and lower capacitance.
Thinner wire has higher inductance.
Inductance has more effect in the lower audio range and capacitance at super sonic frequencies.
A non-uniform twist* has varying inductance and capacitance.
Given the horrific impedance curves of some loudspeakers, one should do everything possible to minimize inductance.
Cotton has a dielectric constant of 17, several multiples of PTFE. Impregnating with oil will lower it somewhat. Cotton is an organic product and thus susceptible to moisture and rot.
From an electrical perspective, Duelands are tone controls - designed to color the sound rather than engineered to transmit the signal unimpeded.
Ever notice cable makers almost never list LCR and most speakers list a single impedance. It's a shell game to keep the buyer guessing.
* When building electronics for the film and music industries, we had our silver plated interconnect custom wound at a precise and specific turns per inch for the best sonics.
