Low capacitance audio coax

I need to send an audio signal from a 50K ohm source over a
distance of a couple of feet in a screened cable. However, most
audio coax seems to be about 100pF/ft so 2ft of this and 50K will
turn over just below 16KHz. So, anyone know a source of low
capacitance audio coax?
**Use a buffer first. A 50k Ohm source is stupidly high. A high
quality buffer can be assembled for a few pennies.
You assume too much.
**Nope. Just the facts. Buffers can be installed for not much money.
If you must persist in using broken equipment, you could look at a
variant of RG59/U coax. Capacitances figure range from 50pF ~
70pF/Metre. Belden have a cable called 1192A, which exhibits around
40pF/Metre. Use a buffer. MUCH smarter.
Again, you assume too much.
**Such as?
