Hi, I'm with Wayne. You can get quality cables at modest prices. I use a rule of thumb.... if an audio cable costs over $5 a foot (with connectors) it is probably a gimmick and overpriced. If a video cable is over about $10 a foot likewise. If a cable of either type is less than $.50 a foot it is probably going to cause problems. Usually the first thing to go are the terminations. I make all my audio cables and buy only reasonable video and RF ones. Thus far as picky as I am this has worked fine for many years.
Yes indeed you can get into real arguments on the subject...mostly IMO from people either make (and sell) or that just bought $1000+ wires.
Good Listening
