Nobody in the pro audio world falls for that nonsense. 

What you refer to is the bizarre ecosystem of the
'audiophiles', generally people having too much
money and no technical understanding at all. They'll
buy whatever is expensive, up to equipment required
to periodically flush out the old and tired electrons
from their left-twisting-oxygen cables and replace them
with young and fresh ones.

Not that the pro audio world doesn't have its own share
of nonsense, but it's different nonsense.
