Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance


How do the inductance and capacitance of ICs impact the sound? I have seen some ICs that have low inductance but high capacitance. On the other hand, some ICs have high inductance but low capacitance. One manufacturer even claims that his higher models have higher capacitance.

So can someone explain to me how they impact the sound?

I just got a set of Blue Jean cable IC's to run between my $4000 preamp and $5500 amps. The LC-1 cost me $38 shipped for a 5 foot set. Do the math folks....they sound very good and I will let you know more once they are burned in more.
I have not asked Joseph at Audio Horizons for the specs on my Dimension cable yet. I will this weekend.

My higher capacitance Audio Horizons IC's sound better from my Dude pre to Samson amps then the much lower capacitance Blue Jeans IC.

No rolling off of the highs at all with the AH IC's. They are simply more full bodied and refined sounding while retaining all the highs and air in my system.

The Blue Jeans cable only cost $39 and they were still very good indeed. Anyone looking for a great cable for very little money - the Blue Jean is a great choice.

Seems my TRL Dude and Samsons like the AH cables better - at least to my ears. Again, the highs were not rolled off at all.
