Why not talk about what colour our undergarments are if we don't want to talk about specifics
I'm not saying capacitance isn't important (although some cable manufacturers claim this) just that we may as well be specific if we are going to talk about relevant theories.
Admittedly low capacitance is one of the byproducts of a thinner wire with a cotton dielectric
but in the end it is still an electrical property just like resistance and inductance which has an alleged effect on an electrical signal.
In either case I am not qualified to comment from an theoretical standpoint, and even if I was a-priori theories are all to often undone in application.
One of the classic examples of this is
Engineers For 911 Truth where some engineers did some back of envelope calculations about the time taken for the towers to collapse, found the video doesn't match therefore think something is amiss.
IMHO it would just be interesting to look at these metrics given the impressions people have of the sound.
I think its alright to talk about theory outside science forum as long as nobody insists on certain methodologies and as long as it doesn't become the core of the discussion, which maybe is in danger of happening...
