Most people prefer hand-wiring for it's serviceability, not the sound. Just ask any guitar amp tech in your area what takes him longer to work on, and what is more difficult to work on, and then ask him how much he's charges an hour, and hand-wiring looks like a good option.

As for $100 power cables and $1000 audio cables, well you know what PT Barnum said

More to the OP's question, here's a pretty good article on the history and proper use of Standby switches.
