Varying topologies alter the sound. Most, if not all, cable topologies electronic capabilities can be measured and quantified. These measurements, to date, for all the discreet components that make up a cable can not be used to predict the sound that will be yielded in any specific setup. Cumalitive measurements of an entire cable may yield similar measuremnets, bust vastly different sound. The discreet measurements all contribute factors toi the sound and the cummalitive measurements can be and are misleading. The complete cable and all the various fcomponents make the sound. Altering the conductor, sheathing, connectors, dielectric used for sheathing, etc. are all factors that add to the resultant sound. The final measurement is the sound perceived by the ears of a human being. Therefore, in the final analysis it is what the indiviual hears and likes.
