Bleoberis,
I see it very differently. Cables have a sonic signature, a sound character that they bring to the system. Using the right cable in the right spot can enable different sources, for example, to have the timbre that you desire. An example... I moved a Kimber Select 1021 from my CD Player to my turntable because I wanted to hear the treble detail that it resolves off my LPs. When used on my CD Player, it was a bit much and sounded too detailed and less like live music. I bought an Audioquest Colorado interconnect for the CD Player because it is somewhat warmer sounding than the 1021 and allowed that digital source to sound more like live unamplified music. I keep referring to live unamplified music as my daughter is a music major in college and I have occasion to hear many concerts that help "calibrate" my ears.
