However, if the cable and termination itself aren't impedence matched properly then (as I'm sure you know) there is an enormous effect on the signal.
It's probably much like mains cables etc. in that having expensive, shielded cables from the wall socket to the appliance will reduce interference etc along that stretch; there's nothing you can do about the rest of the national grid short of hardwiring straight into a substation!
Following that logic, surely the true audiophile equipment should actually be hardwired together rather than using removable interconnects?
You forgot that most of the interference is produced by the "appliance" itself, so those shielded cables will stop it from affecting the rest of the "appliances"...
