The point is that $2000 will get you there, for all of your gear. And that the quality of your cables isn't going to make a shred of a difference. I'll be happy to demonstrate this with a run of speaker wire of the highest grade and one made of household extension chord, a pair of nice studio microphones and an oscilloscope with two inputs running in differential mode. You won't see anything on the trace so what's left is in the mind.

You can put a quality setup together for $2K and you can put an extremely poor one together for 10 times that.
