Most will probably not need those wires to run a transitor radio no. But, it does point out that the wires they use can respond fast enough when the equipment needs it, hence the difference in performance.
Most people would be fine with a cheap electrical tester, but some want fluke or sanwa for that matter. Does it matter? Yes, bec accuracy is important for some people. And accuracy is what classifies average from excellent. Now why would anyone need a thin wire like shunyata's when you can go to ace hardware or electrical store and get a regular wire? I guess education plays a big factor there, or does it? Depends on how you view the world I guess.
I don't have big bucks, but I do know how to save for what I like... Like tools and yes audio gears. I am sure you do spend more on some things too more than average. Perhaps on education of children or on food or on electrical parts and equipment. Why? Bec you want the best you can get for them or yourself. Now if you want everything to be ordinary its up to you. Me, I try to buy the best that I can afford.... Bec I like to be above ordinary. But that's just me.
I do understand that not everyone can spend on things like this and I respect that, there is more important things in life for others to spend their money on.
Bottomline is if you think it helps you get to where you need to be, go for it. If you think its a waste of money don't. Just remember that we are all going to different places in different ways. I respect you and I ask the same from you.
Cheers
