Who says cables don't make a difference?

Funny, after all these years, people still say things like "you wasted all that money on cables". 
There are still those who believe cables don't make a difference.
I once did marketing for a cable line I consider to be about the best-Stealth Audio Cables. 
One CES, I walked the rooms with the designer/owner, Serguei Timachev. He carried a pair of his then new Indra interconnects. Going from room to room he asked the room runners to replace their source to preamp IC with the Indra. There was not one that was not completely flabbergasted and said that the Indras blew away what they were using. That was the skyrocketing of Indra and Stealth. The Indra became one of the best reviewed cables ever.
Serguei now makes the Sakra-an IC that blows away the Indra!
I don't understand why some still do not value cables as much as I.

Cables do make difference and sound different, is any asking price worth it, yes till a certain point of price\value.

Friend of mine has his system connected with stealth cables (dream royal for speakers (Tidal), V16 as interconnects (Constellation Pre+Amp) and Helios for phono (Davinci turntable and Nagra classic phono) they are very good but are they X times better than my cables (Cards Clear), don’t think so, not even close, it just different sounding

“ You have to have good connections between things. Everything in the world is connections. When you have good connections you can build structure. When you have good structure you can build systems.”

The above is from our three-year-old grandson playing around in the “electrical connection“ room at the local children’s museum.  (Pre-COVID of course)

I think it might have something to do with this discussion, but then again I don’t know what he’s talking about about half the time

To the original question. The people who claim a cable can make a difference are the ones that can hear the difference when a better cable is used. I’ve come to the conclusion anti cable propaganda is associated with a group of people who’s 
hearing isn’t capable of hearing at a level where a good cable can make a difference.
