You can hear the difference !!!!
 

That kind of shit drive me batty.  I've seen audioquest cat6 network cables for $600...  WTF..  Make your streaming services sound their best! 
 
IMO a lot of speaker cables fall into this realm.  I've been inside enough high end speakers to know what kind of wire they use to connect the drivers to the crossover.  I'll tell you this, it isn't some "Perfect Surface Copper (PSC+), unique BiWire and solid-core conductor contruction" hogwash. 

Give me a simple set of Blue jeans cables anytime.
