Outrageous prices are part of the luxury goods market definition. There is no more point in worrying about cables you can't afford than worrying about luxury watches, automobiles, and designer clothes.

To find out if such cables really do have superior performance, you would have to find a rich audiophile, who owned some, willing to experiment with your system. The manufacturer's marketing gobledygook can be safely ignored, as their pricing confirms their strategy.
