Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?

The speaker cable industry, unfortunately, has no knowledge about the product they make. As so, they invented as many "Urban Legends" to Differentiate their product over others, or penetrate the market if new.

The ONLY thing that matters is the cables resistance. Resistance is a result of length and thickness. It should be way lower than the Amp’s DF.
That’s the only thing that matters.
All other:
Geometry (a new trend)
Purity (OFC)
Directional
Cryo treatment
Skin Effect
Silver over Copper
Structure
Shielding
and Snakes Oil :-)

Are all in the same ridiculous BS, spread by the industry.

Ok then, what’s the best maestro? You said, what you said, NOW what should I use?

Direction? Purity (OFC)? Silver over Copper? Shielding?
Structure? (there’s a new one).

Ridiculous BS. All other, than RESISTANCE is BS...

Did I read you view correctly?

WOW, are you in for learning curve, No, I don’t want to listen to your system...Thank you very much..

I have a good idea, where it’s gonna land in my SQ realm. LOL

Kinda like comparing Chef Boyardee spaghetti in a can with MAMA’S home cooking... Laughable at best...

OP shielding can really mess up the sound if your not careful.

I have a less is best type system.

PC, RCAs, XLRs and speaker IC, can ALL reduce RFI EFI  with a weave, so it doesn't throw a blanket on the SQ..

The quality of the material and different conductors, whole different ball game. The Composition!

You keep using the word "Geometry", size and shape, relative position of figures, and the properties of space...

Composition, the "what" of the WHOLE, (what it's made of).

Still, BAD cables, need to be good cables, crazy thing to say, but cables only go so far.. like 2-3% if they are good to begin with.  NEVER jaw dropping.. LOL, that one kills me..

No cost/ low cost solutions, get my attention...and have improved my system more than ANY cable.. BUT, I started 40 years ago, with large conductor, pure silver and pure copper, USAF surplus.

The improvements over the years have been VERY minim, because of that alone...Like ZERO, other than network (HARP Box) an added wire or type of wire, armor....maybe some of the tuning terminal ends. Not much of that either.. I've had 3-25,000 cable over here. ALL were red faced. One cable made MY 300s shake rattle and roll..Oscillation big time...MITs

I was at a house with JBL Everest speakers, everything was wonderful.
Speaker IC was off the real, as per installer...10 gauge copper, in the wall, with short tuning patch cords, from the wall to the speaker..

GREAT speakers.....good cable... SQ... oh yea....
