Don't forget about the psychology of sound either. Certain things can make
audio reproduction seem to sound better but actually have no effect. A
long, long time ago we built competition car audio systems, though nothing
like today's stuff, and some people would swear that cars without dark
window tinting had a brighter sound. The tint had nothing to do with the
actual sound in the car. I used OFC Monster Cable and it turned green
anyway.

Since Monster Cable is crap, this is not a fair test. Why not suggest a
comparison between some decent cable, like Tara Labs or Kimber, and
household wire?
Given that setup, with good speakers and a good amp, the difference is
night and day.

There is plausible justification for desiring all the dipoles in one's
cable to aligned approximately the same, which suggests direction *could*
make a difference, but only after the cables have been used. It is highly
doubtful that there is any difference from the factory, and even a used
set of cables can be "realigned" in a reasonably short time period.
