The act & process of having listening experience is far to complex to make definitive claims outside the actual experience. Depending on equipment, room, quality of recording, one "may" have a different experience with different cabling.
I can't make any assertion about your experiences, (especially if you won't elucidate them).
Instead of telling the people what they hear, and that they're imagining things, - why not trust them? After all, they have more experience/knowledge.
People who have heard many, many, many cables, over a wide range of playback systems do not "preach" that all cables sound the same, and/or make little to no difference.
OTOH, most do not say that they make a bigger difference than speakers, for example. I would also hazard, that it is a rare person that will buy an inappropriate cable for their system. I have $2500 speaker cables for my $13,000 speakers in my main system, (after testing more than 10 different brands in all price ranges). I have Home Depot 10 gauge lamp cord in my bedroom system.
