Question? Since you mention capacitance and inductance when speaking

of relevance to what we hear, are we to infer that those are the only properties that have relevance to what we hear? If not what other criteria/properties need we consider?

Also, even in the case of capacitance and inductance should we only be concerned with the absolute values of these properties (for that matter, in the case of cables, does the concept of absolute values even make sense?), or are there other considerations, e.g. a concept such as quality perhaps?; I'm thinking of the analogy to electronic parts where it is generally accepted that not all, e.g. capacitors, are considered equal, some claimed to provide superior sonic results, etc. (in any event clearly there are multiple types of capacitors, and I assume there are measurable properties to differentiate them).

Finally, when you say "You may be unable to understand what or how to measure, that is your limitation, not mine", are you implying that you possess definitive knowledge to associate objective measurements and/or other artifacts with subjective performance for cables?

Such a body of word would represent the tantamount of discovering the Holy Grail, at least for many audiophiles.

If so can we expect publication anytime soon?
