I beg to differ in the strongest possible terms.
That is a fucking sweet setup Raphie - seeing the blue studio grade totally takes me back a few years. If you get a chance, unscrew say one of the connectors and look at the craftsmanship on solder. It really is a thing to behold.
What most people don't realize is that when you're using class-a equipment and have very serious outboard all patched up, small factors become a big deal, cables one of those. I tried a 15 foot run balanced no name cable just to patch to my living room hifi and the difference between that and my Van Damme was instantly noticeable (and my hifi isn't even anything special).
Sure, there's no point buying good cables when you've got a consumer soundcard, entry level monitors and are making dubstep, but when all other things are equal, you have to be a dumbass not to invest.
Even for my DJ setup - I've got the best decks, the best needles and I'm using one of the best DJ mixers ever made, going to fairly decent monitors. Even that warrants spending on good cables.
