In short, non-technical terms, capacitance describes the ability to store electrical energy. Electrical energy can be stored by various materials, including the di-electric used to insulate interconnects and speaker cables.
Because the signal strength being carried by interconnects is typically low, it is not desirable for the insulating material to store energy, and it can negatively affect the music signal. Therefore, low capacitance in interconnects is a desirable characteristic.
