Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance

High capacitance can be a tough load for consumer grade gear - best to stick to short runs or low capacitance IC's. You can lose dynamics and in some extreme cases you get distortion.

Assuming you are referring to analog ic's carrying audio frequencies (as opposed to ic's carrying digital signals or other high frequency signals such as video), inductance is likely to be insignificant.

High capacitance may cause the highs to be rolled off, particularly if the component driving the cable has a high output impedance. That is because the output impedance of the driving component and the capacitance of the cable form a low pass filter, having a bandwidth corresponding to the product of the output impedance and the capacitance.

It is true that some very high-end cables have highish capacitance. That is one example of how some high-end cables are designed to be non-neutral. It is also an example of how cable performance can be system-dependent, because the effects of the capacitance will be dependent on component output impedance.
