It's a function of wire directionality. From the data sheet accompanying the cables (sold in pairs, one of which to be returned after listening to them in the specific link): "The only technical difference between the Red and Blue options is in the crystal grain orientation of the copper ribbon conductors. We ... use the same ribbon -- but in opposite direction -- for the Red and Blue options."Thinking about it, this does presume that the listener has a reasonably resolving system in the first place or the difference would indeed be inaudible. But it's not a very high threshold.
