Why is high capacitance good?

Hello- I was looking into Cardas speaker cables, and couldn't help to notice as you go up the line---the dramatic increase in capacitance in his speaker cables (450/ft on the top of the line). I believe MIT and those guys crank up capacitance as well.

Is this why cables can sound "warm" (the Cardas mojo)? Most of the reading on the web says capacitance should be at a pretty moderate level.

Cheers,

Al- thanks for the detailed (and fascinating) response. How high are radio frequencies that you mention? Some of these particular cables may actually attenuate high frequencies (MIT with Wilson seems to be a popular combination because of it) so perhaps you are right.
