    Default Recommend coaxial cable

    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?

    I'm reluctant to recommend a specific cable, as I don't believe cables make too much of a difference to the audio performance (); 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-...-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...nnectors-1-5-m

    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?

    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/show...oax-cable-1mtr which might be of interest.
