, but wouldn't the remaining strands of the cable catch the signal being that they are all touching each other anyway? Hmmm.
Not really. Even with a small connected load the continuity/conductivity would be poor. As more load was placed on the cable due to the power amp being driven harder the non mechanically held or soldered held cut strands continuity/conductivity would break down even more. The cut floating strands could even act as semi conductor and could possibly cause distortion heard through the speakers.
Now if the cut strands were soldered or mechanically connected to the other strands that were connected to the binding posts that would be different. But still not as good as all the strands being used at the binding post.
