I think I disagree with you much less than you think I do. I have not
practiced my trade in many years so I could not today say what level of
resistance, capacitonce or induction would actually produce something
that could be heard in a meter length of cable. I don't even remember
the equations to calculate it. However, I don't believe any real world
cable one meter long would sound any different from another meter length
of cable

What I said was two long enough pieces of cable, and I can't even guess
how long, would sound different if their electrical characteristics were
different. Even a slight difference in resistance would cause one cable
to attenuate the sound more than the other, if the cables were long
enough.



Sure, take two 20 meter long (about 60 ft) pieces of coax that each have
different capacitance and resistances and inductances per meter, and their
filtering effect might just intrude into the audible spectrum and might make
the cables pass the frequencies above the corner frequency of the filter
formed by the cable in very different ways. This would, at some point, become
audible. Unfortunately for the cable industry, this will not happen at any
length that any audiophile is likely to use in his/her system.
