nordost vs goertz, how do they sound different ?

On speaker wires, goertz has very close matching impedance and its inductance is about 17 times less than nordost spm (Ag3 = 4nH/ft and spm = 70nH/ft). So only using numbers it would seem goertz in this case would make a better speaker cable. But goertz is also 250 times more capacitive (spm = 6pF/ft and Ag3 = 1.5nf or 1500pf/ft)and I've read that some amps don't like its cap. I could not find interconnect specs on the goertz but believe the capacitance would be high which is a bad thing for interconnects.

Perhaps I am reading into the #'s too much. What is your opinion on how they sound and with what equipment ?

I would be using either high power sansui (600w/ch), yamaha receiver, or low power console using a pair of 6bq8's in push pull, driven with either phillips cd player, toshiba dvd, or kenwood turntable (not much but a start), and I love silver. I enjoyed the red dawn interconnects for some time. And I would rather upgrade wire first (very important to me).

Thank you for your time :-)
