When I had a deviant room (suckout, echos, bass bloat, endless reflections) I tried cables to correct the deficiencies I had both in the room and in the equipment. I suspect that is the case for most of us in most situations. Presuming that's your situation too, you can be the luckiest man in the world, throw a dart at a pile of interconnects on a counter and presto, you've got it.
Otherwise, it's trial and error, or figure out as you've been suggested what you are trying to correct, enhance or reduce in your system.
This eliminates the nonsense of what $2K to $50K cables do, don't do and pretend to do.
Best wishes.
