At one time I guess it was the in thing to use Litz wire for 
interconnects, because of its high capacitance.  It was so high it 
sometimes caused solid state amps to oscillate, though.

I'm willing to believe it could have a measurable effect, but I'm 
skeptical that anyone can actually hear it.  I'm reminded of a blind 
test that found people couldn't distinguish between speakers connected 
with Monster Cable and speakers connected with straightened-out coat 
hangers. ;)
