I don’t listen for, or value, soundstage, or imaging. Then you're in the wrong thread lols. 
The Science of Cables
An interesting review by Wes Phillips of the Transparent Music Link Reference interconnect & Music Wave Reference speaker cable.https://www.stereophile.com/content/transparent-music-link-reference-interconnect-music-wave-referen...

Audioquest used to demo their speaker cables on a boom box, so they may take umbrage with your statement above. So it is a belief system after all. It's possible that the cable improves the bass and may give a bit more treble/smoother treble bu... 
Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent
The Nordost cable construction seems to favor inductance over capacitance, that is the geometry reduces the capacitance to a minimum but my guess it may have higher inductance relatively.  I haven't heard it personally myself but high inductance c...

Another variable to consider is what type of cables and xover components being used in the speakers.  If you have some cheap speakers with cheap internal and xover components then well your speaker cables probably won't make much difference.  Don'...

Andy, did you forget to take your smart pill today? A few years is three years. Did you flunk English and math? In any case it’s nit a handful. Geoff is throwing a tantrum. Is he selling smart pills on his website?

That doesn't prove anything.  50 thousands from three manufacturers in a few years?  How many is a few years?  Ten years?50000/10/3 = about 1500 per year?  That's like peanuts compared to one million.  I am sure DigiKey sells over a million fuses ...
