What is the idea of having cables with several MHz bandwidth ?
We are talking about audio signals where there are no signal
components on that frequency range.

What do they mean by this "act like transmission lines".
This sounds like just another marketing bullshit comment.

Home audio systems do not use matched transmission lines in
any analogue audio cables! Transmission lines as understood
in radio and telecommunication technology are not used in
home audio system for speaker cable or analogue systems
interconnections. 

The cables are so short that they do not act like transmission
lines, signal sources and receivers are not matched to any specific
line impedance. (digital interconnections carry
higher frequencies and use impedance matching and transmission
line technologies).

All of the this type of clais that some special cable acts like a 
special transmission line I have seen have been technically wrong!

Sounds link a shitty electronics design if it needs something very
special cable design to work right! Maybe those work better with some
very rare devices, but does it prove that for rest of the 
equipments in thr world that would make any difference!
