Default Decent phono cable.

Need some well screened co-ax 'phono' cable. A quick look at CPC shows
only the usual lapped screen variety. Which I already have.


Basically, I need to run an unbalanced circuit close to some mains
lighting wiring which has a dimmer. And the stuff I have is letting in
buzz.


Tried some RG 59 I have lying around which eliminates the buzz - but I
don't have enough and would prefer a more flexible audio cable.


Happy to buy a reel. It will all get used - eventually.


I'm guessing a braided screen plus perhaps a conductive plastic layer
would be ideal?


Maybe. FWIW I bought one of the 'Shark' types of coax from them ages ago
which had very thick braided screening with loads of strands. Hence much
more copper thickness than usual. Seems OK here, but is fairly large
diameter so may not be flexible enough for you. Afraid I can't recall the
part number as I got it years ago.
