Cables more hype than value?


What are the opinions out there?

The accuracy of 3D imaging quality of any system is afforded by the combined result of all components retaining a high degree of channel separation throughout the signal path. Any induced 3D imaging created via phase distortion, or cross channel leaking, is inaccurate, yet many like this sound quality.

And, remember, the room is 50% of what you hear 3D wise.
3 D staging is Always about accuracy of all the parts including acoutics togheter. But the differences in cables are big. They project the image differently wenn played by the same amp, source and even in the same room. So the question is; What is the right way?
I think there is so much hype that we should stop using them. Just say NO to cables.
I would only say NO to all the average and poor cables. And yes there are many!!
i think high priced cables are too expensives but the problem is that brands value the result, not the real cost of their design.
In Hifi, you have really nice designed circuitry in cheap electronics. For example, an electronic engineer i know is still really impressed by REGA circuitry. When he uses his measurement instruments on it, it's near perfect! Anyway, REGA is a fair brand but not really excellent.
Sometimes some brand value the innovation like Devialet, not the result (Devialet is good but not a fair deal at all!!!).

My point is that you can create a good design without higher the price but sometimes, when you get a result no one else can equal, you can be tempted to rise the prices for it!
High End business is definitely not a fair business and it's important to be well guided through this maze...
