Default Low capacitance audio coax

I've been trying to recall the type of the UHF cable I've tended to use
for general purpose audio coax. I bought a drum 25 years ago because it
was c60pF/m and worked OK. Single solid inner, foamed spaced, sparce
braid outer. Fairly high diameter but works nicely for long runs. I'd
recommend it if I could remember the type number! :-)


FM radio coax that you could get easily at one time was good for this -
used it with my old Quad II setup which had high output impedances to
things like a tape recorder. It was smaller than YHF stuff so just about
fitted a phono plug.
