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.


Holy **** on a stick, guys! I didn't mean to start a friggin' argument.
What are you lot like?


The reason I asked is that I'm currently using a "normal" analogue
phono-phono cable as a digital cable between my CD player and AV amp,
and was wondering whether or not it was worth getting a "proper" 75 Ohm
impedance digital coaxial cable.


Does it work? Or produce crashing and banging noises? Because if a digital
connection like this sounds ok it is ok - there are no shades of grey.

Maybe if I could get hold of some phono
connectors that B&Q satellite coax cable would be good. Your thoughts...?


Pointless.
