How accurate are cable descriptions for your system?

Steve Huff, whose videos I typically like on YouTube is now reporting this about some cables:

SVS Ultra Cables can be found at Amazon for just about $100 for an 8 foot pair. These will bring a bit more bass to your sound but are less refined. 

Tuneful cables are light and have a nice design. They are leaner, and faster but also very good. You can find them for $79 for a 12 foot pair at Amazon HERE.

QUESTION: To what degree can his descriptions be taken as "likely true" for any given (sufficiently resolving) system?

I ask this for people who have found that cables DO make a difference (to their ears, in their system) and deniers will be ignored.

You can get around the whole "room acoustics" issue with a good dac/amp and headphones.

Headphones can be useful when you need to be silent for the sake of someone else...

None of my 8 headphones compared to me acousticallt controlled room...

I will never go back to headphones...

Most people anyway listen their speakers in a living room or in a room not acoustically controlled...

Headphones sound is artificial....

But room acoustic is so complex to experiment with, i advise headphones over living room speakers...

Reading or listening online to a cable review: The more I know of the background and the personal taste and the experience of the reviewer, the better I can judge if I can take seriously his/her verdict and advice. It‘s not an easy task. 😀
