Can Cable get Damaged?

I went to the rear of my set-up just to move some wires over and I noticed that the interconnects from my Rega p3 (standard wires) were extremely folded, curled, bent out of shape and tangled at the pre-amp end near the connectors. I must of been very sloppy when I first hooked up the table. Just wondering if ant damage could occur over this and any idea of how to test for it?

Thanks,

Elmuncy is correct. Depending on the degree of bend in a cable or wire the electron police will erect either a yield or stop sign. Electrons that ignore these signs are immediately taken to jail which is usually in the closest upstream component. Therefore, tight bends and kinks limit current flow and should be avoided.
