If you have more money than sense you could always get one of these full
sized LED one for several hundred pounds. Who on earth buys this stuff?

solid gold speaker cables.
 

I used to be into hifi and yes some of what you could buy definitely seemed in the 'saw you coming sir' category. I do remember seeing adverts that claimed cables that were 'molecularly aligned' and only worked properly in one direction. Then you had the really expensive 'digital' cables'. It's a bit of wire and one of the advantages of digital over analogy is that are way less susceptible to signal degradation.
That's not to say there isn't a difference between getting the cheapest cables you could buy and spending a little more money but there where companies that were just taking the pee in what they were flogging. It's like a lot of things, there's a sweet spot before rapidly diminishing returns kicks in.
The other thing I realised is there's a big difference between listening to something in a shop with a dedicated room and, well sitting in your lounge at home where the acoustics are less than optimal.
