What does 'cold' mean? What does 'warm' mean?


Aside from the 8 year old 'hey go open a window' replies; explain a 'cold' sounding cable? A 'warm' sounding amp?

Moreover: do we all assume these are terms we universally nod our heads to in agreement, whatever they are?

"Warm is used by a salesman to encourage you to buy their product.

"Cold" is used to criticize a product. A salesman may use this to discourage you from this item.

Another descriptor with a positive connotation that I like is "meat on the bones".
