While it wouldn't be a direct apples to apples comparison, I have deliberately added low value RCL components into the signal path before to mimic different cables / out of curiosity (PSA: do not casually attempt this). In most cases the subjective difference was minimal to none - less than changing cable materials.
Technically speaking, too many potential things could happen, but general rule of thumb for me is if nothing is "at the ragged edge of stability" and nothing is being changed functionally, then small changes like a longer cable are usually OK.
