Nevermind the relatively much less expensive, cheap wire connected to both
ends of the speaker wire (internal loudspeaker, amplification, etc.).

If you detected a hint of sarcasm, you weren't imagining it.

Following a link from there gets you this handy list of tips for picking out
cables (I especially like the bit about discouraging A/B'ing cables, but
instead leaving everything overnight to settle:

Tips on comparative analysis of cables:

1. Many cables are directional. Please follow manufacturer's markings
regarding directionality. Also Cable Company inventory tags are attached to
cables at the "downstream" end.

2. Schedule cable auditions from The Cable Library for periods when you will
be able to devote ample listening time to the process. Plan on spending an
average of one evening of listening time for each cable being auditioned.

3. Don't pull cables in and out of your system for quick A/B comparisons. We
recommend allowing each cable to settle into your system at least overnight
before serious audition. This settling in process involves the constant
running of a signal through the cable to be tested, usually by means of a
tuner or CD player on repeat at low volume. The cables should also be left
in a constant physical position during settling in.Hook it up, turn it on,
and leave it alone until you're ready to listen.

4. Relax and listen to the music, not to the cable. Cables are perhaps the
easiest component to audition. The right cable will maximize your system's
existing strengths and minimize its weaknesses. (Insertion of active
components into your system may change the sound, rather than refining it.
This may leave the listener acknowledging the differences without being able
to decide what's better. Not so with cable. When your system has never
sounded better, you've found a good cable match.)

I read about this on one of these sites. The serious guys claim it takes a
few weeks to 'burn-in' the cables. Only then can you hear the improvement of
a truly good cable.
