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.

bo1972"When you just take a look at how most audio products sound and what they can reveal, most are just a joke. This has nothing to do with a personal taste or even philosophy. Most people have difficulties to face the truth."

Actually the person with perhaps the greatest problem, challenge, and difficulties in facing the truth is bo himself, who's entire premise, basis, and theory is that He alone has access to the truth via "Tru-Fi" and the rest "have difficulties" as he claims here I know the truth about the "tests" that bo promotes and conducts and I know the truth about his claims, pronouncements, and "facts" and I will tell you to listen for yourself do not let this guy's deception convince you that you can't handle the truth or that most components sold for Music Reproduction Systems are junk.

bo1972 "They use cheap parts which we replace by superior ones"
You select, install, and promote cheap parts also that you try and persuade and convince others that they are "superior" but they are not they are only different you do this to promote you're flawed, incomplete, faulty "Tru-Fi" concept, premise, and protocol that is incomplete especially because you overlook ICSS distortion and use improper, incomplete, and poorly executed cables in your Music Reproduction Systems.

bo1972 "They use cheap parts which we replace by superior ones."

You replace parts that have been carefully selected, evaluated, and tested with different also cheap parts as a way to convince those who do not know better that you’re "Tru-Fi" approach is superior and valid and that you are qualified, expert, and capable of choosing parts which actual degreed engineers have personally certified as superior! You tell us that we "don’t know F. about high end audio" when you are unwilling to understand, accept, and accommodate the problems of ICSS distortion which reveal that you’re "Tru-Fi" approach is unscientific, incomplete, and tragically flawed, defective, and unproven.

Also when you modify, customize, or alter an electronic component with different parts you run the risk of fire, electrocution, and an invalidated warrantee especially when those parts are selected, chosen, and installed by someone who lacks proper training and education and your insurance company will reject and deny, any claim arising as a result, consequence, or outcome of any such modification
