In Reply to: "Tone" cables often have a higher capacitance posted by Chip647 on September 30, 2016 at 05:12:00:
If the expensive cables had the same capacitance, inductance and resistance as cheap cables, you could not hear the difference.
There are other factors to consider such as the conductor's composition and RFI rejection. JPS Labs cables have a very similar EDC as some Nordost cables, but sound different.
