Still unclear on what you are asking.

If it is cable capacitance ...
then capacitance will only effect HF.

If it is the coupling cap of phono stage output ...
then higher capaitance will improve bass.
Use C = 1 / (2*Pi*F*R)
F is usually 2Hz on a phono stage
R is the total resistance to ground
(Output R in parallel with next stage's input R)

I have often read that capacitance can effect high frequencies, but does anyone know in what way it affects the sound? Does it make the sound shrill, dull, etc.?

  U H
  
  The capacitance of the cable forms a RC HF filter
  with the output impedance of the driver stage.
  It will limit the HF extension so less highs
  which can make the sound duller but more likely
  the soundstage will not be as clear.
