Actually the current in a cable just relates to the amount of heat produced.
The so-called sound properties of a cable, is down to the Inductance, Resistance and Capacitance of the cable, and how it interacts with the Speaker and Amplifier Inductance, Resistance and Capacitance.
If you know the exact amounts that are in the equipment and frequency range, you can calculate how the Frequency Response and Phase variance will differ from the a Flat Response.
Point to note, it tends to be the higher frequencies that change the most, which is why younger people can here differences and the more mature people cannot. (Human high frequency response reduces with age)
