has more to do with the dye lots. The color of natural plastics is a milky translucent color. Every other color including clear involves chemical additives. It is these additives which affect the electrical properties of the insulation. In general the lighter colors are more benign, Black very often involves the addition of carbon, which is slightly conductive, and thus transforms the insulator into a terrible conductor.
This was pointed out to me by designer Stan warren in the very early 90s.

All of PS Audio's (Stan Warren's company) cables seem to have black jackets. Oh, well, must be one of those "do as I say, not as I do" things. LOL
Let me guess, you have black cables too, am I right? LOL
Stan Warren left PS Audio in the mid or late 80's. The current PS Audio has really nothing to do with Stan Warren, although that may not be obvious to a "theoretical P\physicist".
And nope, All my components utilize non black insulation, although I do have many black generic power cords lying around. My last major sound room even had the in wall romex utilizing non black insulation.
But as a "theoretical physicist", I really admire your great scientific acumen in attributing the white of the teflon tape wrap you used in treating a sound improvement and in ignoring any other possible factors, particularly those factors electromagnetic.
That was some schooling you must have gotten to become a theoretical physicist of that caliber.

I did not offer an explanation why white cables sound best, but nice of you to offer something as "obvious" as electromagnetism. Just like a good little wannbe scientist.
