The Science of Cables


It seems to me that there is too little scientific, objective evidence for why cables sound the way they do. When I see discussions on cables, physical attributes are discussed; things like shielding, gauge, material, geometry, etc. and rarely are things like resistance, impedance, inductance, capacitance, etc. Why is this? Why aren’t cables discussed in terms of physical measurements very often?

Seems to me like that would increase the customer base. I know several “objectivist” that won’t accept any of your claims unless you have measurements and blind tests. If there were measurements that correlated to what you hear, I think more people would be interested in cables. 

I know cables are often system dependent but there are still many generalizations that can be made.

Not to mention a very serious nomenclature failure on the cable end. Now I don’t want to jump to conclusions yet again but that sounds like maybe we’ve discovered a snake-oil spill that will make it very slippery for certain folks to get around cause their certainty has now got all uncertain like, like oil spills do that eh....hopefully science will save them.
Don’t worry, Mogami cables are not high end. Not by a long shot. They are, however, The Cable of the Pros. 😬
