Does the length of cables really matter?

Hej

I've read that a digital cable should be at least 1,25 meters for best sound. And now I friend of mine said that power cables should be at least 2 meters otherwise they will affect the sound negativly.

Is this really true? 

And if so; what about analog interconnects?

No.

They should be as short as possible. 1m is standard. Don't go longer unless you have to.

Oh, I almost forgot. I don’t use cables. Should I recuse myself? 😳
