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,

Hi capacitance cables may be used to 'tune' a too bright system. Too bright a system may be fixed in other ways.

I think that's a bad approach. I personally try to find low capacitance cables, when such spec's are known.
Many cable companies don't advertise such things, do they?
