I have not really delved into cables as such... so take my comments with a grain of salt. I am really just thinking out loud after a gin and tonic or three.
The return feeds into a circuit that will be amplifying the difference between signal and ground. Moreover, poorly arranged returns (within components, but also cables) can induce ground loops. The return seems important, but different to, the signal.
Recently I have been considering the merits of using different conductors for signal and ground, with signal perhaps being selected on the basis of personal preference and return being as transparent a conductor as possible (realistically, soft tempered, high purity silver)...
Cheers.
