There are no details to discuss in this thread, except for the marketing blub for an "audio grade" cable. What that says and what it implies about the company that stands behind this marketing copy is self-explanatory to all air-breathers who are not tied up in some mystical belief that price has anything to do with anything other than ... price.
As to listening to particular equipment, it's irrelevant. Whatever equipment that I might listen to, someone like you will come up with product X, probably one even higher priced than the ones I list, and say that I have no authority in what I write, because I haven't heard product X. This has nothing to do with knowledge or science. It has everything to do with salesmanship, in its worst form.
I view all the components and cables as tools, and measure them by their usefulness in recreating a realistic impression of live music when it isn't possible to hear the real thing, because of time, place or circumstances. I could care less whether something is "state of the art" or not according to some marketing promotion if listening is enjoyable. I also happen to know that it isn't possible to rank components or playback systems in any organized fashion, because some will play certain recordings better than others. This implies that if one has all the money in the world one will still be wasting one's time if one is always searching for the latest and the best. If I hear something that I don't like I usually diagnose what is wrong and fix or adjust it, either curing the problem or at least substantially mitigating it. I don't go looking to spend $15,000 on a new piece of equipment on the say so of some promoter.
There is no point in continuing this discussion any further, because we come from different universes.
