why is Low Capacitance good for speaker cables?
Answer:
It doesn't matter. Except some "audiophile" cable can have extremely high capacitance, and this can cause serious amplifier problems.
What is important is low resistance, particularly for long lengths of cable. 18 gage is OK for med. short runs, 16 gage for medium lengths, and for longer runs consider 14 gage. basically anything is good for speaker cables. unless you are an 'audiophile' you won't hear the difference. Loss capacitance means the high frequencies won't be as attenuated (less loss). The capacitance of the cable acts as a "short circuit" for high frequencies. For cable lengths of less than 100', this effect is negligible, since the speaker itself is more of a "short circuit" (low impedance) than the cable capacitance. Only for very long runs should you need to worry about getting "low capacitance" cables. Audiphiles with limited technical knowledge "know" that capactance is "bad" for high frequencies, so the marketing geniuses take advantage of that to advertise "low capacitance" cable. Most speaker cable (including heavy-duty lamp cord) is low capacitance by design (two parallel conductors unshielded).
