Cable measurements don't really matter, better measurements haven't always lead to better sound in our hobby.
Complex and "creative" cable geometries used by high-end cable manufacturers are used to alter the way a cable sound, this is what audiophiles want in a cable...to hear a difference!!! to add or subtract something that he sees as an enhancement to the performance of his system.
Why are measurements not posted? because many of these complex geometries measure poorly compared to the very basic double helix and coaxial design, this could be hard to explain for high-end manufacturers when their prices are many times more.
What I want to see more from high-end cable manufactures is better description of conductor and dielectric materials, guage, and design philosophy....something to compare one product to another. Otherwise, we are all just buying on reviews or hype alone.
