Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?

I've settled on Audio Envy cables. I'm off the cable merry-go-round. Good riddance.


Ok so 2ft @ $160, 
Yeah I read the blah blah blahhhhh in the descript
https://audioenvy.com/product/speaker/sp9-each/


But could you at least consider 
navships 16 gague @ $40?
see my recent topic on his cables. 
Returnable,,,, ,,but i bet you'll be glad i mentioned navships. 

 quite unique however also quite minimalist.

after invest $300+ in my own DIY IC's, = a  complete failure,, super thick cable froma  DIY site, solid copper ends , = a flop,,I only go now ~~minimalist~~~ skinny is good, as in  my new navships IC 16 gague,,,,super skinny,, pure minimal. sound like million $ IC's. 
navships teels you what the wire is, your Reson does not describe the makeup of the core.
navships is the last IC I'll ever buy/care/want to own. 
Its that good an improvement. 
Completely opened up my Jadis Defy7 with new Mundorf Supreme caps./F&T caps, + Takman Metal Resistors.  
IC's make or break the sonic fidelity. No doubt about it,, =  Not snakeoil, ,,contray to my previous bias/disbelief. 

As a manufacturer I can honestly say yes...and no.  Ethical manufacturers price their cables with a nod to materials cost, hardware cost, build time and...here is the kicker... amortizing out the hours, days, weeks, months and sometimes years spent researching, building prototypes and refining their (our) designs.  Intellectual property does not come cheap.  The realization that “wire is not just wire” is merely the beginning.  Having materials made to our specification is getting to be stupid expensive in the relatively small lots that audio manufacturers need. 

"The 4 figure wires appear to be a dime a dozen."

You mean $1000s a dozen?

OP shielding can really mess up the sound if your not careful.

I have a less is best type system.

PC, RCAs, XLRs and speaker IC, can ALL reduce RFI EFI  with a weave, so it doesn't throw a blanket on the SQ..

The quality of the material and different conductors, whole different ball game. The Composition!

You keep using the word "Geometry", size and shape, relative position of figures, and the properties of space...

Composition, the "what" of the WHOLE, (what it's made of).

Still, BAD cables, need to be good cables, crazy thing to say, but cables only go so far.. like 2-3% if they are good to begin with.  NEVER jaw dropping.. LOL, that one kills me..

No cost/ low cost solutions, get my attention...and have improved my system more than ANY cable.. BUT, I started 40 years ago, with large conductor, pure silver and pure copper, USAF surplus.

The improvements over the years have been VERY minim, because of that alone...Like ZERO, other than network (HARP Box) an added wire or type of wire, armor....maybe some of the tuning terminal ends. Not much of that either.. I've had 3-25,000 cable over here. ALL were red faced. One cable made MY 300s shake rattle and roll..Oscillation big time...MITs

I was at a house with JBL Everest speakers, everything was wonderful.
Speaker IC was off the real, as per installer...10 gauge copper, in the wall, with short tuning patch cords, from the wall to the speaker..

GREAT speakers.....good cable... SQ... oh yea....
