We are finally beginning to see some measurements applied to cable design that may begin to roughly quantify what we hear and that will ultimately lead to better designs.
Heyser was doing time delay spectrometry on speakers in the middle of the last century. Likewise the NRC built what is, arguably, the best facility for the testing of consumer loudspeakers shortly thereafter. Most of the energy continues to go into moving coil speakers. I don't really see much technological improvement here, though with the prices being charged, and the design budgets that are involved, the overall products have become much more heroic.
