The whole "warmer" sound is just bullshit spouted off by cunts who think vinyl is cool.
I guarantee that a blind hearing between vinyl, CD and high quality mp3 would show no difference.

Yep, I agree.
I also strongly believe that all this guff about cables is so much bullshit. Sure, if you spend money on better equipment you'll hear a difference, but only to a point. Like everything else, it's subject to the law of diminishing returns. The cables you use won't fucking matter as long as you buy some with some decently made connectors.

I once spent a rather large amount of money on new speaker cable with the intention of Bi-Wiring my speakers
sadly I didn't realise that the cable was so thick that I couldn't fit two lots of it into the connections on the back of my amp. So it was a bit of a waste.

You see, I'm an enthusiast but I'm in a technical job, so I'm a bit more sceptical, I guess.
Speakers, for example, are internally wired with pretty narrow guage wire, so any savings on signal you make with big, thick cable is going to be lost inside the speaker. Also, audio doesn't require much bandwidth, so you don't need thick cable to begin with. The only place you're likely to get signal degradation is through the connectors.

There is a difference in sound
I agree that "warmth" is a fairly meaningless way of describing it though.

"static-y" and "a bit less static-y"
would be more accurate
