There is simply nothing you can do to a
couple of reasonable lengths of wire ALONE between an amp and a pair of
speakers that could have the slightest affect at audio frequencies.


You could take a pair of wire cutters and snip one of the conductors.
That would have an audible effect (i.e. the speakers would be silent).

You could strip the insulation and make a short circuit. You'd hear that
as the amp frying (or blowing a fuse if you're lucky)

You could separate the two conductors and make a bunch of loops to
create an inductor. That would have an audible effect.

You could attach connectors with cold solder joints that are non-linear,
and this would induce distortion.

There are many things one can do to the wire to make things sound worse.
Of course, what you meant is that there's nothing you can do to
*improve* the signal transfer at audio frequencies. I can't disagree
with you there.
