To each their own. There are usually three different reactions to cables, your equipment is not of sufficient quality to resolve the difference, your equipment is so good that it cannot be improved upon or your hearing is not able to discern the difference. I, too, was very cable skeptical until the folks at Shunyata sent me tens of thousands of dollars of cables to try. I had reference grade equipment with a 818v3 and 8000SE and the differences made by the cables were distinct and immediate. Unless you have made the commitment to try these things in your system, your comments can only be taken with a grain of salt. Not everyone can appreciate the difference between box wine and fine wine but it is there and you may not be able to measure it. The CMB Integrations demo room in Greer South Carolina boasts the largest installation of Audioquest Dragon cables in the world along with the largest HRS rack built to date. In a room such as this, the benefits of cable and system equipment synergy can be clearly and repetitively demonstrated.
