Well I can hear a big difference between recordings made by Chesky or AudioQuest and the standard mass market stuff.

So I would say just good enough.
Don't know how serious you're being, but I can hear a big difference too and I'd put miking and mastering techniques, lack of compression and a million other things before cables.

Having spent a ton of time in film mixing studios (some of which double as music recording studios) and knowing those guys, I don't think they'd compromise on cables if they thought it was an issue.

I totally agree about the above point on marketing.

Again, my point wasn't that there isn't an audible difference between analog cables.

Double negatives are handy sometimes.
