Low capacitance interconnect??

G'day guys,

Well I'm looking for a couple of RCA interconnects to pair with my new Placette Passive pre. The general recommendation is for very low capacitance cables. I am currently borrowing Nordost Red Dawn cables which are very low, however I'm wondering what are the other options available. Apparatny the anti-cables IC's have a low Cap as well.

Any recommendations?

This is set by the wire-to-wire spacing and the insulators. Anything lower than 3.8pF/foot? Steve N. Empirical Audio

I favor them over the Harmonix Golden Reference IC's I have demoed in my system. Ciao, Audioquest4life
