It depends on what you want to believe. If you choose to believe the laws of
physics, numerous scientists, electricians, audio experts (ie - the people
that design the equipment), countless real-world test done by professional
people both in the electronics and audio fields and countless others.....
you will believe that it makes no difference.
If you choose to believe the audiophile who is getting a pay-packet from the
companies running adverts for their latest audio technology which is
probably optical cabling in that issue, you will believe that coax gives
inferior bass.
I know who I believe.
