Coax for single-ended IC's can be a good way to go, especially if you are seeking a simple DIY assembly.

See:
The skinny on RG-6 coaxial cables:

This post goes into details on the kinds of materials you want to use for a DIY coax, and which ones you want to avoid.

More in depth information about the Belden 89259 coax is found at:

It should be noted that there are some pretty good commercially available twisted pairs in stock form too, such as Belden 89207 or 89272.

However, these do not have optimal twisted pair geometry, and that is why I recommend doing a DIY twisted pair using bits and pieces from other cables.

Good luck on your quest for superior audio cables!
