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.

@douglas_schroeder : I will try this as soon as I get another two y connectors (already have two). IC's will be AQ Silver Extremes. First test will be between CD player and preamp. 
dave_b, is your reference to, "I can’t help but smile and laugh at the contortions and mental gymnastics many audiophiles put themselves through, attempting to find that one special way to connect their components that will leave all the others in the dust, an inference that my Schroeder Method is negligible? If so, what evidence do you have for that conclusion?

How long of an interconnect do you need. My interconnect between CD an Pre is less then the length of two y connectors.
Typical lengths of IC’s in the Schroeder Method are 8-ft or less. At least I have enjoyed good SQ results within that range.
