I think the difference in impedance mentioned in this article is also what people were trying to tell you about. From the Blue Jeans website:

I buy a little bit better quality cables usually for the connectors. Too cheap cable has some really crappy connectors that will break easily on you. Cable quality is also relative to your system. In general, the "rule of thumb" is you shouldn't spend more than %10 of your total system cost on cables. There are other tweaks, such as power conditioning and acoustics, where you'll hear a bigger difference. Well put, and in a round about way thats about what I have spend. The video ran it up.
Today I put in Coax cable from the Oppo, the DVR and an optical from the dvd changer.
Huge difference! One reference CD last week I thought was a bit harsh (given what I just spend) so I dialed up the blue jeans people and got more copper (again) And it made a huge difference.
Since this is the first "upgrade" I put in this system I must say its been a real pleasure.
The HDNT concerts on my Dvr sound much better now.
Played the Live Roxy music DVD "live at the apollo" and it just looked and sounded great!
