The way you make this statement it sounds as if you think you have have a choice over whether you consider the known laws of nature to be violated if there is an audible difference. You have no such choice. The laws of nature apply to everyone, regardless of their willingness to submit to them.
That said, you are in luck. The known laws of nature do indeed allow for there to be an audible difference between different speaker cables. Bear in mind, however, that the known science that explains this audible difference isn't part of physics. It's part of psychology. jh901 wrote: > I don't know how skin effect comes into play, for example.

Since you have admitted that you are human, you're half way to understanding why different speaker cables sound different to you. To complete the journey, all you need to do is expand your search for an explanation beyond the boundaries of audio engineering and consider the known science that deals with how human perception is influenced by all manner of extraneous factors.
