Cables, just as important as a hi end component?

The DH Labs BL-1 interconnect is not pure silver. It is silver coated stranded copper. 

I've been pretty impressed with DH Labs cables, but if your goal is pure silver, this doesn't quite get you there. 

To answer your question, no, I don't think cables are as important as the components. 

Cables are no different then the rest of your system.  If they make an audible difference, then spend the money, if they don't, don't spend the money. Trust your own ears and experience...in the end, you are the only person that need convincing.

That’s far too sensible for some,

testpilot,I believe you have summed it up nicely. For the record,I am in the camp that believes cables do make a difference.
