Gotham's quad cable is actually lower capacitance than their standard cable. But listening (along with noise suppression, if you need that) is what counts. I tested a bunch of quad cables from Gotham, Mogami, Canare, against many standard 2- and 3-wire versions and the quads mostly sounded a little softer, with less bass and treble clarity... subjective... These were all 20' cables.

If you've got of a bunch of money invested and everything already wired up, may not be worth it to you to switch now, but as mentioned you can always take a listen to alternatives to find out how sensitive your system is to the cable effects.
