Chris r..... NOT SO. The opposite has indeed been reported as highlighted below.

Nordost

I had a chance to sit in on a couple demonstrations in the Nordost room, giving my feet a well deserved break. I’m very familiar with the benefits of high quality cables and use a full Nordost Heimdall 2 loom with my reference two-channel setup. That being said, I always find the Nordost demonstrations to be an “ear-opening” experience. Michael Taylor from Nordost demonstrated the significant sonic benefits of replacing an OEM cable with a Nordost model – in particular 1) a swap of a single USB cable, from OEM to Nordost Blue Heaven ($250/2m), to Heimdall 2 ($500/2m) and; 2) a swap of a single RCA interconnect, from OEM, to Blue Heaven, to Heimdall 2, to Tyr 2 and finally Valhalla 2. Along with convincing the audience in the room that cables DO matter, I’ve now got the bug to upgrade..."

I was there among the masses in the actual demo ..... it was a straight swap in swap out with no cable length change

As the A-B swapin swap-out exercise moved up the cable model selection, there was a steady audio performance improvement from bottom to top.

When you examine the cables (ICs and speakers ) either in person or by way of reading on their website, FOR SURE there is a progressive improvement in build materials, silver content, resultant weight, and Especially in the progressive design improvements and increasingly difficult and improved manufacturing processes.

Over the three days, we then visited most of the audio demo rooms by all the exhibitors. It is a large show. What we saw was that The VALHALLAS , by far, comprised the highest number of selected cables used by all unrelated independent gear and speaker brands with demo rooms in the expo. Assuming they are all putting their proverbial best foot forward to draw attention to their own product, Draw your own conclusions.

What that tells me is the obvious and the intuitive --  system synergy matters and one-size does not fit all. 
Choose wisely
