Kind of....but not that much.

After spending 14 years in television production, and at many different TV stations/Post Houses/Networks and hanging around with the engineers that work at these places, I've become convinced that cables do matter, but only to a certain degree.

For example, cheap wire, like the type that comes with most low, mid and even some high end consumer electronics sucks...there is no question about it. BUT if you go to any network, TV station, or even post house (the post houses are usually the most fanatical), you will see nothing but Belden. Sometimes you'll see other brands, but very rarely. Belden is pretty much it. They run THOUSANDS of feet of the stuff all over and they swear by it. And if you've ever seen a freshly calibrated program monitor in a dark control room, and think that that signal is going through at least 100 feet of Belden wire, and a Bosch router, you'd agree that they know what they are talking about. Especially considering we'll use about a meter in most of our set-ups.
