If the statements made by these cable companies were looked into they would fall into the false claim category. But they change their claims all the time and knowing that there is very little teeth in the truth in advertising laws they sit back a rake in the bucks. It is the snake oil of audiophile equipment and it's recognized as such. But people really want to get the edge in their sound and fall prey all the time. It's not at all like buying a cd. The cd is cheap but the music is not. You are paying the artists and the recording company. It's not 15 bucks of junk that you pay 300 for. Have you ever noticed that some of the breakin periods of these cables is longer than the warranty if they have one? Nice stuff.
