Yup. When I used to do studio recordings as a musician, most studios have A/B/C speakers for mixing. They have the nice speakers usually on concrete breeze blocks which is what you do your first mix on, and those are equivalent to entry-level-ish audiophile speakers but not super-expensive, then they have the B speakers which are a bit worse and then they have the depressing C speakers which represent what people usually have at home. Even super-expensive studios that will happily drop 10s of thousands on a valve preamp or Neumann mic don't use any kind of fancy cable or unobtanium plugs or anything. Just regular hard-wearing well-shielded audio/speaker/whatever[1] cables depending on application. [1] There are some differences based on whether the cable is going to carry just audio or audio+phantom power and also whether it's line level or speaker level or whatever it's called. It's been a while.
