Yes, I mean scientifically. Note that in my previous post I did allow for the audibility (and scientific basis) of differences among cables but cables are different from amplifiers or DACs in that, for the most part, they are single component devices and not composed of a myriad of varying components utilized in different circuit configurations. Most amps and DACs do not measure identically (no surprise), so it is easy to accept that they could sound different.
But, there is a very simple paradigm here. If one chooses any competently-constructed cable of sufficient gauge, what is the measurable difference between using it alone and using a pair as bi-wired (aside from the increase in cable thickness)? There have been theoretical efforts which suggest differences too small to be audible but, afaik, no measurements which demonstrate a difference sufficient to be audible.
As I said, don't you think that the cable industry would be plastering this proof all over if they had it?
