Can I do any better than BJC LC-1 or Gotham GAC-1 Ultra Pro for the money?


Hello!
So I need about 5.5’ cables for my amp to preamp and about 2.5’ ones for my atmos amp channels.
I was going to buy World Best cable Gotham GAC-1 Ultra Pro:

But the BJC LC-1 seems to often be recommended as best anywhere near its price
What do you guys think?
Any real difference or can I do better for the same money?

Thanks for keeping it real about expensive cables vs affordable ones. Yeah I guess in the end I need to try them myself but is nice to hear from some others that have experienced with them too.
Thanks!

@newbee , shouldnt I be able to measure it, say like in REW, if I can hear the differences between them?
I do have other RCA like, Onix from Monoprice, and RiCables (probably the most expensive ones I have), some old Monster stuff, etc.

@soix, unfortunately $325 is not even close to the price of the ones I mentioned though plus I will need 11 cables (7 at about 5’ and 4 at 2.5’)

@newbee but is someone claims say one cable has highs that are rolled off vs another, I surely should be able to measure that. Dont you agree?

@newbee, Well when I say measurements I am talking about the actual system already working and swapping the cables, if someone hears rolled off highs with one cable vs another, you clearly should be able to measure that., Not to mention, unless you are very young, our hearing degrades pretty fast from that 20khz normally used as our max.

Rolloff is not a magical thing, it can easily be measured unless you are talking about something else. Your ears, well there is this little thing called Placebo..ever heard of it? ;)
Win Argument? I didnt know this was a competition..but ok.
Yeah I did notice that and that allows me to answer you questio about what I am going to do?
Avoid these types of interactions ;)
I am done with this thread
