I need (OK, want) some white phono cables, but white seems to be
reserved either for ludicrously expensive iPod phono leads, or for
white versions of the semi-disposable 49p leads.


White versions of the kind of thing that seems to sell for between £5
and £10 online would be OK.


Who makes and sells them, if anyone?


Or alternatively, some kind of white duct for the black phono leads
would do.


Not checked recently, but Maplin sold white coax by the metre so you
could make your own. With the added benefit of having it exactly the
correct length.


But can someone who thinks a 49p interconnect sounds worse than a £10
interconnect be trusted with a soldering iron?


Sure. Nature has its own way to teach which end *not* to hold. :-)

....and the experience of making up your own cables and finding they work
fine can be a very satisfying (and educational) one.

Maplin and CPC a probably good starting points.

Slainte,
