Yep...we clearly do are on opposite poles of this issue. My opinions are not biased because I have researched the science and believe it...and I have no financial interest in these products. My point is the cables cannot make, induce, accentuate, instill, highlight, perform or any other active verb you can think of. All they can provide is the prevention of interference from outside influences as they link the audio signal from component to component. Inexpensive cabling does this quite nicely. Spending more is just silly.
My stereo system is Oppo-105D/Emotiva XPA-2/B&W 803s. I could spend 1000% more and MAYBE achieve a subjective 5% improvement in overall SQ - for me, a stupid, wasteful, low value investment. But it might LOOK cooler...there is that!
Oh, and I have KimberKable for the speakers; got them free with another deal. Wasn't impressed with them over heavy guage zip cord. Also got a set of six Wireworld RCA interconnects for 10 bucks (retail on Amazon $100 each). Made no difference over the Monoprice set they replaced.
I do monitor AVS...and Audioholics. Both groups encourage not wasting money on silly, ineffective cabling.
