Anyone found a cable with low inductance and capacitance that would be good for tone

has anyone found any low inductance and capacitance cable that would be good for a tonearm cable ie not internal wiring but from the tonearm leadout to the preamp someone must have produced something for another purpose that isn't going to be prddeled by the Audio price bandits???????????

Go to www.gotham.ch
They have a wide variety of cable. I've the GAC2-V1, and 2 pair versions for phono cables with great success. Don't get too caught up in specs, with a relatively short cable run there may be no significant losses.
Gotham should have a distributer in your area.

just putting this out there...i have not measured these cables, so I don't know....but I know they sound really really nice in my system.

I use 30 awg (hair thin) magnet wire in a helix pattern for all my interconnects. I got a 6000 (not a typo) foot roll for under 30 bucks online somewhere (with a gun to my head I can't remember). The price per one meter interconnect pair is in the pennies. And they sound much better than my store bought (30 to 40 dollar range) cables.

Again, I would be glad to measure them for you and post the results, but as of yet I have not done so.
