I will post my own opinion fo rwhat it is worth.
I also know that many people on this site have way much more experience and knowledge than I have. Still, after doing a fair amount of fiddling and listening I have at least formed a kind of viewpoint.
I think that the cable question is not at all hogwash. But at a certain level the cable that works well for you is the one that mates best with your system and ears. The cable kind of fine tunes the sound to your liking.
I have heard cables with my spectral/avalon system that were many thousands of dollars and some less than a thousand. Happily I happened to like the sound from the cheaper spectral/MIT ultralinear cable rather than far more expensive cables fromMIT and others. The other cables nearly all sounded great but I just happened to like the sound from the UL cable best.
Hey I might even change my mind.
