Cables more hype than value?


What are the opinions out there?

If someone switched out the cables in my setup to stock cheapos without my knowing, and I came home from work to listen to the stereo, I would notice the absence of the good cables sound qualities immediately.
Audiolabyrinth, in my main I use Audionote tonearm wire, Siltech and/ or Nordost IC's, and Siltech speaker cables. In a second system I use all Wireworld Eclipse, and the basement "workout" system has all Cardas in it. I have some other stuff laying around, some old MIT, TMC, Kimber.
