It's an opinion

I tend to believe that cables, which should be addressed thoughtfully, are more like the frosting on the cake of one's rig. Giving components a foundation with minimal disturbances and a clean electrical supply can produce consistently demonstrable results more cheaply and easily than chasing results that are usually described as requiring substantial monetary expenditures. Spending $200 on footers from Herbie's and another $200 on some Quietline filters will be more easily understood than the addition of a $400 PC or pair of ICs.

There may be gains to be made in cable design and construction but if you want to see gains in the numbers of audio enthusiasts, selling another $4000 PC isn't going to do it. I'd rather see more people pursuing the hobby and attending live music events than the next esoteric thing in cables.
