What they want, and what they can afford, or what they have been advised is "OK", are two different things.As noted earlier, with the huge amount of cables used in a studio, the cost per foot is not a trivial aspect, and this can be more of a factor than what they would LIKE to use!
On top of that, you have Naysayers that may recommend some part number as OK, just because they are convinced that "wire is wire".
The studio owner/engineer may not be that familiar with audio cable issues, and may have taken the advice of a technician or engineer (or acedemic), someone who thinks that they know enough about electricity/physics to state that as long as the wire is adequately shielded and low enough resistance, etc., that it will work just fine.
Of course, we find out that many of these people are ignorant of the facts surrounding audio cables, and have given this advice without any actual real world experience with high performance audio issues, or without any actual experience with such cables.Many studio owners/engineers find out eventually on their own that a high performance cable can make a cleaner recording, and offer less degradation during the entire process from recording, mixing and mastering, etc. and end up replacing their "industrial strength cables".
Do I think that the vast majority of studios would WANT the most accurate cable? Yes, I just don't think that wanting it automatically makes the cables they actually use, "the best" in many cases.
