DIY shielded signal cables

Hi!

I want to make my own shielded RCA signal cables, short lengths from DAC to preamp, and from preamp to poweramp. There are probably many threads discussing this, but I am having trouble finding appropriate lengths and deciding cable type.

Can anyone help? Where to buy, and what cable construction types and conductor material is the best way to go? I am thinking cooper, but should I go coaxial or what is most cost effective solution?

It would be nice if it could also be used for internal amp signal wiring.

I appreciate any advice.

Regards,
Andy

Do you want to connect the plugs to a prefab wire (coax or not), or do you want to build the cabe, too?

Mogami 3082 is highly regarded (and 2520 looks and feels very very nice—white/pale rose and very soft), and there is DIY Silver RCA Interconnect Cables

I tried the latter option—rather expensive, but fun. I then tried to „counter-proof“ it and twisted a pair of enameled copper wire—works too...

+1 for Mogami inc. their speaker wire.
