Oh, for sure, I get exactly what you mean. What I meant to say is, yes, for me the 'other' cables do improve the music, but they aren't exactly cheap, and should not be viewed as something you can't live without. I can listen to music through the cheap speakers in most shops and enjoy it plenty, I just enjoy it more with said cables.
If it works for you, and you like the sound, and you are prepared to bear the cost, it's buyer's choice, and buyer beware. You could say the same for any component.
I would rather win in a junk-pile than lose in a Ferrari, but winning in a Ferrari is better still.
What is a Ferrari in hi-fi terms though, is something nobody can agree on - you can't race two rigs against each other, apart from loudness and I guess distortion. Or more likely, I am talking rubbish!

Ziro power cables -> Modded Marantz CD63SE or Bluesound -> Roksan K3 Dac -> RFC Venus -> Onix DNA 45 -> LS25 -> Proac D18
I'm using Mark Grant leads bought on eBay for a reasonable sum and they work fine, although I use Studio Connections speaker cable which i like the sound of, so like someone earlier I might try to source a couple of cables by them to try.
Some interesting/funny replies here, all good natured, everyone in good mood?

I replaced my Chord Signature speaker cable (rip off) with Belkin Pure AV - which cost me precisely 1/100th the cost of the Chord - and it sounds just as good - in other words, no difference.
