RE: A paper I wrote 11 years ago.

Capacitance acts as a high pass, inductance acts as a low pass. I don't think too much of either is good, but depending on what is being connect what would normally be considered an excess of either to be audibly good. You could correctly point out that indicates the equipment is flawed, but you have to work with what you have. Unless you are going to the bleeding edge of interconnects, it is usually a lot cheaper to correct with an interconnect or speaker cable then it is with replacing a component.

Case in point, my beloved Threshold CAS-1 does not have a Zobel in the output stage so it is sensitive to high capacitance interconnect cables, to the point of self destructing if you go too high. My solution is not to use high capacitance cables (although I could just add a Zobel). I like the amp too much, with all of its flaws, to switch amps.
