Cable Enthusiasts. When it comes to cables it’s about quality and matching. THOUGHTS?

I tend to agree that cables are variable, just like all audio components. You can have the best speakers in the world but if the room isn’t a good match (maybe too big, too small, whatever) it won’t make a great combination. Same with amplifiers which much match the speakers or you won’t have a good time.

A cable might be far better than the rest in one system, but not necessarily the best match in every single system. That's part of the reason why it can be hard to gain consensus on audio gear. Everyone hears things differently and has their own priorities which makes things more complex, but also they may actually be hearing different results based on system matching. So it's tough to say. 

@v-fi agreed.  I tell people that.   Everyone is not going to like every cable. It depends on your room and equipment and what your system needs. It just depends. 

Same as everything in audio, it’s always subjective, and the synergy is different on different components.  Good materials, connectors, dielectric, shielding, design, etc., is only a starting point.  You always have to listen to cables on your rig to find out how they sound. 

A good cable can't be depended on systems. That's a biased ear statement. A better cable always sounds better than inferior sound cables in any systems.

The audio system plays to sound the original music. The better cable sounds closer to the original music in any system. If one hears that a inferior cable (more different from the original sound) sounds better, his ears are biased.

Cable companies are saying "the cable needs synergy and matching" is because their cables don't sound the original sound.   Alex/Wavetouch audio

OP  All cables are not for all systems.
