rat,

If you read my post again I said these parameters can affect sound, meaning it is a possibility (open mind). Granted capacitance isn't as great of concern when talking about speaker wire as it is with interconnects. These are merely posibilities as to why cables sound different. You are right, good quality cable is good quality cable, but my point is it doesn't all sound the same. $2600 for a set of speaker cables is crazy in my opinion. You will hear what you want to. I suppose this goes both ways.
