this issue comes up all the time. Everybody has an opinion on this...here's mine.
High end cables are snake oil. If the cable meets all the basic electrical requirements (decent shielding - low resistance/capacitance - low handling noise - correct current rating - mechanical strength etc etc etc). Then it should work fine. I've never seen any of this stuff pass a decent 'double blind' listening test. Additionally its unlikely that you'll see any of the big studios using the esoteric stuff - they too, know better.
I've seen hilarious claims over the years made for cable by companies that should know better. That's not to say that there isn't some cheap AND crap cable out there.
If you can hear a difference, then fine spend the extra cash and sleep easy, I prefer to spend the money on something useful.
PS - compare and contrast this to the Big Ben debate that is still running after a year !!!
