I've got well designed gear (in my opinion--intelligent solid-state
pre- and power- amps), and I'm not looking for audible effects. I'm
just mucking about, trying to understand the theory here, short of
taking a full electronics refresher course.

The effective inductance, at a given frequency, for a given load, is a
function of the distributed capacitance as well as the physical size
of the conductors. You would need to use transmission line theory to
calculate it accuratly. (A discrete element equivalent circuit will
also give close results.)

Transmission line theory is useless below about a 1/10 wavelength. At 20
kHz, this is several thousand feet.

Why would anyone want to worry about 100kHz, when most people can no longer
hear 20kHz?
