If you know that you are purchasing a placebo and are okay with that, then more power to you. Have fun.

If you didn't know that you are purchasing a placebo, now you know. Now that you know, you can spend money on real things, or continue with imaginary.

If you never questioned whether or not cables provide a real benefit, then perhaps you could do some testing or research to find out for yourself. Sighted listening tests or anecdotes cannot provide the answer.
