Capacitance: Help me understand


I have been trying to match interconnects with my system. everyone keeps telling me I probably have a capacitance problem with the Wireworld Gold Eclipse III that connects my preamp and amp. I have no idea of what this is, but Isure can hear the effect it is supposedly causing, a too deep soundstsage with diminished volume from the center image.Can someone explain capacitance to me? I am not stupid, just clueless.

I have interconnects that will COMPLETELY change the soundstage and tonal balance due to their high capacitance design. Mids are slightly distant and sunken, highs are smoother with less splash, bass is slightly elevated which adds warmth, etc... These work fabulous for systems that are bright, hard or way too forward. As such, they can take a digital based SS system and turn it into something that is warm and musical. A few others have commented about this cable in the past. Like anything else though, the results are both system dependent and up to personal tastes. ANY interconnect that uses a foil shield is a high capacitance design. Sean
