There's no question that different wires can have a different sound. It all boils down to the triumvirate of resistance, capacitance and inductance. The issue with the cable nuts is three fold. First, price is not an indication of performance. Very inexpensive wire can have low resistance, capacitance and inductance, while very expensive wire can have abysmal capacitance and inductance. Second, wire is a passive component, just like resistors, capacitors and inductors wire cannot add anything, it can only subtract. Where minimal resistance, capacitance and inductance are concerned the KISS principle applies. The more complicated the wire construction the more likely it is to have high capacitance and inductance. And finally, there's the chronic lack of any supporting data to back up the claims of both the manufacturers and the users of expensive wire. They always play the "I know what I'm hearing" card, with the implication being that anyone who doesn't hear what they think that they hear is either aurally or mentally defective, if not both.
I'm an engineer, and that being the case I never assume that I know what I'm hearing. I always verify it with objective data. That doesn't mean I do so to the exclusion of subjective impressions, but that a mix of both subjectivity and objectivity is a requirement to draw a valid conclusion. There are fields where subjectivity without objectivity is acceptable,if not inevitable, but engineering isn't one of them.
