"12 ga. is 12 ga" ??
1. the physical distance between the positive and negative legs will determine the capacitive and inductive characteristics of the cable.
2. the number of strands will affect high frequency response and group delay.
3. the material used in the dielectric will affect apparent speed of the presentation, and will affect ultrasonic high frequency extension. That's why manufacturers of quality audio cable use PE, foamed PE, or Teflon instead of (much cheaper)PVC.
And those are just easy-to-talk-about factors ...

I agree.... This guy goes into more detail and tells why....
