Some interconnect manufacturers, e.g., MIT and Transparent, insert a "black box" at the downstream end of their ICs and speaker wires, which so far as I know contains either just a capacitor or an RC network. I assume the capacitance value is very low, but it may help to produce a low characteristic impedance for the IC or speaker wire overall. In my experience this can be a good thing especially and maybe more so in speaker wires. My OTLs seem to work best driving a wire with low characteristic impedance. OTOH, some wires with high characteristic impedance, e.g., Nordost, have sounded awful in my system. Anyway, capacitance isn't all bad.
