Having worked little bit on the music production side of things, I always find it funny how much some people spend for a couple of feet of a high-end cables at home, just to listen to records that have been made in studios where the signals went through dozens or hundreds of feet of standard run-of-the-mill cabling.
I think the point is to reproduce the sound of those hundreds of feet of standard run-of-the-mill cabling as faithfully as possible ;)
