The guy is partly right, but it is not a reason not to play with cables at home. If we accepted the idea that we should all use cheap equipment because all the guys at the studio use off the shelf equipment, our sound at home would be worse than it is now, which is again mostly due to overprocessed recordings.
The point with audiophile cables is to get the best out of a recording that has been done in a purist way, recorded with equipment that has been engineered in a purist way, and listened to with purist equipment. If, into a minimalist recording path using only the finest components, we were to introduce a baseline cable, the sound would not suffer greatly, but it would improve (or at elast change) if in that same path we used a specialized highly engineered audio cable, rather than an off the shelf one. Same with the home equipment. And if we could put only the finest wire inside our components, the sound would also improve. We don't usually find out because components manufacturers usually can't afford expensive wire inside the components due to cost constraints on retail production.
Besides, a lot of those guys at the studios can't hear nuances much any more anyway, they're too buys listening to overamplified, over processed music at too high volumes.
Above all, don'T become discouraged. Have fun!
