Choosing cables for Passive applications?

I am wondering if anyone has some good experience with passive amp/pre combinations and what cables have worked well.
Personally I am using a Cardas Nuetral Ref.(RCA term) between my CD and Amp (amp has attenuators on back for volume). I have read that the lower capacitance cables work well as they alter the signal less, but many manuf. do not specify the ratings.
Also I noticed that the Nordost cables have MUCH lower capacitance than the Cardas. Would this make them a lot better in my application than the Cardas, at least theoretically?
It's difficult to swap cables around a lot so I'm looking for some pros on the GON!
Thanks

I run 2 sets (one 1/2m, one 1m) of Luminous Audio Sychestra Reference ic's between cdp > Reference Line and between Reference Line > amp.

Before this I was running 2 sets of Reference Line's own DSL cabling which was very good and made specifically for my application. The Luminous Audio blew them away. You will see them occasionally on AG.

good luck
