Y'all got that right. This is snake-oil at it's finest.

This is a problem for people who don't have much experience of hifi;
distilling the truth from the sea of snake-oil it swims in... I mean,
of course if you use badly shielded cable I guess it'll pick up some
mains hum/RF interference: but working out what expensive
interconnects, or speaker stands, are meant to do is distinctly
non-trivial :/
