Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements?


I'd like to get your take on why high-end manufacturers don't post measurements? would you like to see how a cable measure before ....does it matter to you?

I think it is reasonable to ask for capacitance and inductance measurements. This is useful for determining compatibility with electronics, particularly for longer cables. 

I also find it useful to know the conductor material and primary insulation material (the insulation used on the primary conductors). While I wouldn't necessarily rule out a cable that used an unusual dielectric material, I'm more likely to try out a cable if I know it uses PFTE or FEP insulation since I have some experience in they way they sound. 

For speaker cable or power cords, it's also helpful to know the effective wire gauge, particularly for longer runs.
