Are expensive cables worth it?

The cost for interconnects ect. are way out of hand! I understand $200-400 cables, but do $2000-4000 cables sound 10x better? I know we are all dropping big coin for that final 10% of music not heard on 'mid-fi' systems, but are the cables the place to find it? I'd rather save the $ and upgrade my speakers or amps first, am I crazy or what?

There really are two questions here.

1..Do details of wire construction, other than adequate copper size, make a difference?

2..If "Yes" to question 1, does "properly" constructed wire require absurdly high cost?

I am undecided about question 1, but for question 2 the answer is NO.
