Hearing and Sound Reproduction

Note I said "typical bench measurements".

Of course it is measureable with the right equipment. But very few of the analysts doing these measurements has equipment to measure in that time domain.

What you need is a proper software to analyze the digital stream, a capturing device in case we work in the digital domain and the good ADC in case of the analog data. And the weak point is a software. But it does not mean that only FFT analysis software for static test sounds is available. There are also packages like DeltaWave which allows to compare on the different level including the time domain, for example.

He is not talking about capacitance in cables but about capacitance in the system, “something that holds the signal back……”.
As a (retired) EE I would suggest a next video to discuss the role of inductance, something that resists changes in the signal

Your answer #19 will suffice, @dtc. Thank you.

Tthese timing delay does not effect the frequency you hear (20 to 20KHz) but it may effect your perception based on the timing issues he has already discussed.

High capacitance cables have large rise and fall times for square wave used as the test signal. It's easily measurable but it's an effect visible in high frequency ranges, of hundreds of kilohertz and even more, of megahertz.
