BTW: There are far less costly ways of reducing inductance than using
Nordost. I've said so in the past and I'll say so again. Use RG213/U if
you want low inductance, low resistance and low cost.



RG213/U isn't near capable of carrying satisfactorily the 50 amp peaks
you spoke of earlier.


The core is about 3mm^2, so reasonable for short runs. Don't know about
the screen.


Indeed; but then so is pretty well any design of cable. That's the problem
with this discussion - throw in *very* long runs and you might hear or
measure a difference. But then no one with any sense has very long low
impedance speaker cable runs.

Has anyone come up with an explanation of How Nordost cables
have low inductance and low capacitance? It seems to break the laws
of physics.


As do all these 'snake oil' products. They are sold to the gullible on
price alone. If they were cheap or even value for money they'd loose their
cache.
