. . . to cause audible signal degradation.
In the linked issue of Audio Critic (see article starting p.51), the much-maligned skeptic Mr. Aczel demonstrates, with precise measurements, that some exotic "high end" cables can roll off the treble above 7kHz by more than 1dB, due primarily to series self-inductance. Note also the fluctuations of +/- 0.5dB or more in the midrange with some of those cables. (He did test 10-meter runs of each cable under consideration, which is a bit longer than most of us would use, and would thus show higher resistance and inductance and consequently more pronounced effect on frequency response).
But he shows that cable performance can be measured in a meaningful way. I would not trust any wire "review" that did NOT include such measurements.
