No.

You know why? You implicitly insult anyone in groups 2 or 3 (and 4) because they don't agree with you. Not cool.

Now, here's my 2 cents, just because everyone else is throwing money in the pot.

Some cables are different--because they modify the signal in some way. If they're thinner than optimal for accurate transmission, they roll off the top a little bit (because of increased resistance). This can be interpreted as "warmer." If they have exotic includes (like capacitors or other), they adjust the sound in other ways.

Many cables just accurately transmit the signal, just like other cables--including those horrible, horrible 16 gauge cables.

I would link some papers, but obviously that's not allowed or believable.
