It would explain why some studios advertise the brands of wires they use
no matter if they believe it makes a difference or not.

There will always be some who try to get business by appealing to the
naive.

Since the wire companies probably sponsor the installation in some way
in return for publicity, there's no downside. Even brand-name wire does
the job in most cases.

Some audiophiles do get vigorously exercised about the sound quality of
recordings, hence lists of super discs or records to die for, etc as
well as endless discussions on various forums.

That's a different matter. The actual making of vinyl - after the studio
part - had a vast influence on the quality. Assuming a level playing field
on the master tapes.

I'd presume a 'super disc' started with a super recording. Of course,
the comparisons of masterings found in places like the Steve Hoffman
forum include speculation of whether the master tapes were actually used
or not.
