Re: Are you serious?

More cross sectional area. If you use solid core hookup wire in a preamp, for example, adding another strand to the negative increases the amount of bass in the balance. If you use insulated stranded speaker cable you can cut one strand of one leg to experiment. If you don't like it, simply solder the end back up.
If you are biwiring, it gets more complex, but you can, say, work the tweeter harder at it's lower FR range by adding cable to the negative leg.
You're not going to find this in any text book, of course. I noticed this many years ago, and have been employing this tweak since. It is particularly noticeable in preamps where it is common place to have one thin wire serving as a bus bar for all the input and output grounds.

Try it: it's cheap and surprisingly effective.
