If you read it, you will find that he tested cables with 20X difference in inductance and you can follow the graphs how little that much difference makes.
Not much at all.
Thanks Mtry, but i don't have Adobe reader installed so can't read your link

I saw an article in Audioholic that a 50 feet zip cord will have 1 dB drop in 20 kHz due to cable inductance. And I saw the formula that confirmed it. So if speaker wire is short this might not be a problem.

The superiority of star quad over zip cord was its noise rejection/emitting capability. Its lower inductance [over zip cord] is just icing on the cake
