I want to make up a couple of interconnects possibly 2 pairs at 1m each. Any recommendations or sources, had a look on the interne5 auction site but didn’t really see anything. Nothing at ridiculous prices

1. RG316/u Use 2 lengths per side, just use the core rather than the screen.
2. Klotz MC5000
3. Klotz AC110
Why? True you will halve the capacitance per unit length, but the screen is silver plated copper, whereas the core is plated steel.
To the other cables you have suggested that are available 'off the drum', I would add (amongst others)
RG 58C/U, or RG 58C/U-01
RG 59C/U (particularly for digital interconnects)
RG 174
RG 223
URM70 (also for digital)
Gotham GAC-1
Gotham GAC-2 (for balanced interconnects)
Van Damme XKE
and
Sommer 'Carbcable'

Well not ridiculously high just a source or recommendation for general good cable at say £5. - £15 or miore if it’s something really spe@cial. But I am not a believer that expensive means good. I just make an opinion once it’s in place, but not been doing diy for a while and looking for good suppliers or products

And thank you Barry Gotham is one I was trying to remember!
All of the cables suggested above shouldn't cost more than £2/metre.

So I would be interested in some klutz mc5000 . Is it available in less than 100 m rolls?
