For audio applications, you can consider the cable a capacitive load.
(As opposed to the transmission line approach, with its nominal impedance,
termination, reflections, etc., which is important at high frequencies.)

There *is* a large variety of quality in audio cables, though they don't
have much to do with dispersion. Go for a low capacitance / meter
if you have a long cable. And go for a mechanically robust cable
if someone could step upon it.
