how do cable variables contribute to cable sound


there are several variables which contribute to the sound of a cable, as indicated below:

wire, geometry, connectors, connection, dielectric, outer jacket and other materials.

can anyone explain the contribution of each to the overall sound, preferably in percentage terms.

thus if one wanted to create a cable with a particular sonic
personality how would one combine the above ingredients to satisfy the goal ?

obviously, there the factors of inductance, impedance, resistance and capacitance. is it simply a case of a formula manipulating the values of the electrical characteristics that determines what a cable sounds like ?

by the way this type of questioning applies to preamps and amps too.

Edison knew roughly what it takes to make a light bulb, yet it took him over a thousand experiments to come up with a decent one.
That's called engineering.
