Bad question-- assumes absolutes when there are none.
I'll bet, you will never be able to rank a set of different cables by price even if one cable costs $200 (a reasonable price for a high quality build and materials cable) and a $10,000 cable. Confirmation bias and the placebo effect are the bane of this hobby. Hearing is funny. People "think" they hear a this thang or that ALL THE TIME and they are often wrong. Trouble is, they're also never in doubt. Either you can reliably discern qualitative differences without bias (know what they are) or not. I'm betting no one can. I have a high end system, believe in quality, and basic acoustic principals -- I choose not to believe in specious claims made by companies that are often raking in obscene margins based upon same. But, hey, it's a free country.
