Hi Bill (Wlutke),
One way in which phase shift differences could occur between two speaker cables is from the interactions of their differing inductances with the impedance of the speaker. Another way is from differences in their propagation velocities. However, for cable lengths that would be used in a home environment both effects can be calculated to result in completely negligible phase shifts at anything close to audible frequencies.
Your question was a good one, though. Regards,
