High capacitance RCA cable

[Jimbo]

Can anyone recommend a high capacitance RCA phono cable. I am currently using a Chord Chameleon Vee3 which has a capacitance value of about 70pf, I need something around 150pf.

This at 125pf - http://www.van-damme.com/18.html

Mogami W2893 seems a bit higher.

Increase the length James as capacitance is proportional to length and impedance increases/differences are totally irrelevant with interconnects as you're usually connecting into a high impedance receiving end. Use a twin core overall screened cable to raise capacitance, that or use 2m of your current cable. You say it's 70pF/m, which is consistent with most coaxial screened cables, but remember, that figure is per metre length.

Cheers Paul, however I need to find some cheaper cable as that Chord stuff is bloomin expensive!:)

I will take a look at those Kevin.:thumbsup:

What length does the cable need be Jimbo, there are lots of options at all price levels.

Hi Mark,

About 1.5m

If the total pf needs to be 150 pf then a decent quality cable about 100 pf per metre will be OK as you using 1.5 metres.

I will measure a few Canare and Van damme offcuts in the morning.
