Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Crap ... it depends on the length of the cables.

While most speaker cables have a "reasonable" capacitance, some designs have extremely high capacitance - like the infamous Cat5 braided speaker cable. Some amps are designed in a way that gives excellent sound but makes them susceptible to too-high capacitance ... so if you have excessively long runs of high-capacitance cable, they are not going to like it.

IE. they cope with 6' runs but not 26' runs (which will probably send them into self-destructive oscillation).
