it depends on what system you have , once I had stereo, all NAD system with, total cost msrp near $2000. There was no difference between borrowed hi-end cables, and 1 level cables from well known manufacturer (ie AQ), or cheap speaker cable from Home depot.
I used second option, because they were a lot better built, and convenient to use, nice banana plugs, etc.
Today, in a lot more interesting and better system, I do not imagine the listening without my choosen cables, total cost of them msrp is the same as all NAD based system mentioned above.
