AES-EBU and SP-DIF signals are incredibly rugged, and provided the
cable is of 75 ohms impedance, what it's made of and how constructed
will have *no* effect on the signal transmitted.

Can some kind soul please tell me what the impedance of a "normal"
analogue phono-phono cable is?

Not really, since it will vary from one example to another. Domestic audio
co-ax is not specified in terms of its impedance as that isn't normally
relevant. What *may* matter is the value for its capacitance per metre.
This is quoted in some catalogues - e.g. by Maplin. But tends not to be
mentioned in magazine 'reviews' sic of cables.

Slainte,
