Cable suggestion for CJ preamp. Help please .

I am getting the Premier 17 ls 2 very soon. The unit has a very high output impedance and this suggests I be careful in cable choice . My understanding is that high capacitance cables are detrimental to the sound of the unit. I presently have Xindak gold and cannot find info on whether they are high or low capacitance cables. Also please feel free to share suggestions on what I should be looking for to optimize the synergy in my system. The rest of the system is Nearfield Pipedream 21 s , Cary cad 211 anniversary monos, Denon 3910 APL modded player. Cost is not a main issue. Feel free to reccomend any price range. Thanks for any help

Lower capacitance in interconnects is always desirable, and most decent cables that are not coaxial have reasonably low capacitance. Achieving really low capacitance is a challenge however.

Some special constructions do aim for very low capacitance, like the DIY method Chris VenHaus published. Connectors vary in capacitance too.

If you wanted the capacitance to be as low as possible I'd be looking at Keith Eichmann's Bullet Plugs and fine gauge silver parallel-braided around a Teflon or cotton core. The architecture of this design (Chris VH) does produce very low capacitance.
