Don't know about capacitance. I know the Pangea 9 sounded better than the 14 on my cdp.

You paid HOW MUCH for that electrical receptacle?!!! Are YOU nuts?
Follow Ups:
The OP is posting about interconnects rather than power cables like the Pangeas. Low capacitance is an important factor for cables used to connect turntables to the electronics as if it is too high the treble will be rolled off.
I understand what you mean, but (at the risk of sounding like a pedant) for the benefit of others who may not understand fully...
it should be added that the required cable capacitance depends on the phono stage input capacitance such that the total combination meets the load requirements of the cartridge being used (for MM) to achieve the frequency response specification. An arbitrarily low capacitance cable is not necessarily ideal. For example, the original Musical Fidelity phono stages such as the X-LP/S etc only have 47pF input capacitance as the default.
Pickering produced the TMZ-22S/E (of which I have one example) which was a high output, "low" (read medium) inductance cartridge (for standard MM inputs) specifically to meet the EMC requirements for the phono stages in Japanese amplifiers which allowed for up to 900pF load capacitance (according to the TLZ-22 manual).
For MC, that class of cartridge is insensitive to the capacitive load and indeed some phono stages incorporate a significant capacitive load (470pF in the case of the MF M1-ViNL).

Read your post Flood, over my head basically but I respect it, that said if you can hear it and feel it in the music then it is worth it. Anything else would just be me be me talking beyound my experience and that is no good for me or the forum.

Yeah. I thought about that after I posted. Forgot where I was there for a minute.
