A good friend of mine is a EE who works for Micron. He is responsible
for final testing, and certification of all new memory. He is a big
time audiophile, and likes improvisional jazz. In fact, he has had a
lot of success with a side business designing and making high end
headphone amps, and last I heard Apple certified his products to be
ipod worthy.
I once asked him about the importance of cabling. He told me that
when he was a grad student he decided to build a tester to check
different audio wiring in order to come up with the best one. He
discovered that not only was there very little difference, if any,
between brands, but Walmart brand performed the best for his tester!

Now, if you are talking about having the proper gauge of wire for
certain applications (ie high amperage) or having good, well-made
connectors, then yeah there is a difference. But your oxygen-infused
triple-platinum connectors? I've got a bridge to sell you.
