I was excited when buying my system, and the salesman convinced me to buy a £100 interconnector. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON CABLING. Seriously, since then I've read a lot, asked a lot of auido technicians, done some tests of my own and there is no noticable difference. Cabling market IS a scam. I wasted £100 on a cable and am happy to admit it.
One reputable audio technician I spoke to said that cables CAN colour the sound, but all they do is EQ it. If you want to EQ your sound, get a decent EQ deck.
Watch out for hi fi dealers who turn the volume up on more expensive equipment as well. Humans perceive louder volumes as better quality sound, so hi fi dealers tend to increase the volume slightly when demonstrating expensive cabling.

Just ask them *why* those cables are supposedly better. Hilarity will ensue.
