Recommend coaxial cable

[Pieoftheday]

Can anyone recommend a coaxial cable just for TV use, less than £20 if possible, currently using a Thatcable one which is fine but the sound Is a bit congested, ta Jim

How long will the cable be, and is it for audio use only?

Hello Barry, yes for audio , sky box to my novafidelity x40, 1.5 metre I think,I used to use the optical out but it no longer works on the sky box

I'm reluctant to recommend a specific cable, as I don't believe cables make too much of a difference to the audio performance (:sofa:); in any case I always make up my own cables.

But if you want something for less than £20, you might consider these: https://www.maplin.co.uk/maplin-pro-twin-rca-phono-to-twin-rca-phono-2-pole-terminal-cable-braided-1-5m-5026686199710

My preference however would be to spend a little more (£26) and buy these Klotz AC106 cables: https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/rca-cable/klotz-alpa015-rca-cable-2x-straight-to-2x-right-angled-connectors-1-5-m

Bloody ek, I didn't know Maplins was still a thing. Thanks

Not much wrong with Belden 1694a. Have a look on eBay for it. I have used TM3 Connections before, and the build quality is good.
It won’t be less than £20, but is not a lot more.

Is that an analogue or a digital cable you want?

Sky box to dac

[Barry]

Oh - I hadn't realised it was a digital cable you wanted. If so, ignore my recommendations and go for a 75Ohm cable such as RG59, or the above mentioned RG6 (the Belden 1694A).

If you can get away with a 1 metre length, then there is a Mogami digital cable for sale here: https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?74187-FS-Mogami-2964-Digital-Coax-cable-1mtr which might be of interest.

Belden 1694a are my go to coaxial, I have several spare if you can manage 1m. £10. Other options you can explore include component video cables.
