I mean yeah, audiophile cables are 100% a rip-off every time. You can spend thousands on a cable without it having any real benefits.

It makes more sense to just buy decent speakers and a decent amp, along with a good audio source (any CD player).

    Yeah, but if they don't buy the gold and platinum plated cables, washed in the blood of young rams, and studded with diamonds- how can they be sure they are experiencing the music as it was intended to be experienced?
