I agree that the cables matter more as the equipment gets better. A really good cable could actually make less expensive gear sound worse, since it will uncover the cheaper gear's shortcomings.
for what its worth
ive had my doubts about the bennifits of cable upgrades, but not being able to afford a major equiptment purchase, i decided to try to upgrade my middle of the road system consisting of mostly three year old class "b" products. i purchased on closeout from audioadvisor a ps audio prelude power cable for 50.00, and a set of audioquest blue racer interconnects again for 50.00. a set of signal cable ultra speaker cables for 130.00, and topped it off with a monster 3500 mkII power center from amazon for 100.00 .
all of these products replaced very cheap versions of the same thing. so what did my 330.00 bucks get me? i would say i did notice a difference, crisper cleaner sound mostly in the upper end.it gave me more detail, and while not overwhelming , im very pleased with the outcome.does it mean if i buy 1000.00 worth of cable's i will be that much more impressed? i dont know, but if you can do it on the cheap i would say that yes cables do indeed mske a system sound better.
