You missed the point. The RLC of the cable is measureable, and the driver distortion into reactive load is measureable and so is the frequency response.
From what I have seen, heard and measured, yes it is possible to make a cable to cause the effects noted in the previous post. Why anyone thinks
this is better, or worth more money is beyond me. All anyone needs is a Belden Master Catalog or the equivalent.
