Sorry but ordering 1Kg of 0g items somehow barks the order processing software.
Yes tarts the proper way to do it. I know you know!
Well obviously they did, since we are talking speaker cables which don't carry square waves, but frequencies of a defined value typically <= 20KHz, which is why the long form of the equation IS critical. You will note that at high frequencies this simplifies to squrt(L/C). It does not at low frequencies. Again, over the audio frequency range, this changes quite a bit. R&G are ignored when we are talking square waves (rapid changes), that is not analog audio transmission.
@Lambda - This also effects the settling line, because it effects the mismatch.
I have an amp source, up to 200 A iirc
Perhaps I'll burst 100 A and peak record Vdrop!
Will you be happy then!? Lol
Note to myself, disconnect speakers and amp
This what we have
100 A I should see ~5 V

It is ignored for 60 Hz too
At 20,000 Hz
10' cable
R 2.42 Ohm/1000'
L 0.17 uH / ft
C 29 pF / ft
What is R and jwL (Xl)
What is 1/Xc (jwC)
What is 'j' btw??!

And you bothered to enter the thread without reading what I wrote....
That could be because your concern is not 60Hz, it is transients at switching and most of the grid is not going to have zero voltage switches which if you did you for the most part would not care at all.
I can't hear at 20KHz, so I don't care. However, I do care at other frequencies.

Ok, so it is YOU who have the answer... What is the best measuring speaker cable?
You don’t need to bring out the big guns... even 1A would have given you lots of resolution ( i assume the meter can measure down to µV with similar resolution and +-2 counts?) so 50mV is no big problem to measure and you dont have the lead/ connect resistance.
But we know you know... your just teasing us.
square waves are like 0g peanuts.
nice in theory but you cant calculate with them.
OP / This thread is not about "typically" if i understand @jensgk right.
So there is PCM DACs/music in 192khz and DSD even goes to 25Mhz?
I would say YOLO lets go with 1Mhz bandwidth since this is not about realism anyways.

So you deny that there must be a ranking order? That the coat hanger is worse than Belden here: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/when-12-gauge-wire-is-not-12-gauge.3/We can't even agree on what to measure

Actually, higher amperages are detrimental to resistance measurements as they add thermal EMF to the DUT and affect the reading. Proper lab micro-ohm meters mitigate these effects. Its all there in the "bible" : https://download.tek.com/document/LowLevelHandbook_7Ed.pdf
Why does it matter when discussing speaker cables what is the best measuring cable? All you should care about is an adequate cable that does not cause any audible degradation.
If the best measuring cable is so important to you, then you must first decide what specific measurement is of the upmost importance to you. Then, you can pour through all the test measurements done by various individuals and make your own decision. This type of thread (no offense) just seems to stir-up unneeded conflict when there shouldn't be any over this subject.

..figured this level of 'pickiness' is relevant seeing how the conversation has been going
If it's like beer, it's whatever I have at present!
A another thing we can’t forget to consider when talking abut speaker cables.
i don't want my cables all jumping around on me to the beat.

Because it could be fun to see what the state of the art is?

That must be where all these anti-resonance technologies come into play. Blocks of wood, anyone?A another thing we can’t forget to consider when talking abut speaker cables.

In this case it is force (gravity) exerted on the scale.(cough) kilograms are mass, Newtons are force (cough)

You can push a button and convert to Oz or Lb.
454 g = 1 lb
Lb is not mass, but a force
The mass is 1 lb /32 ft-sec^2 ~ 0.03 slug
