will go from a vintage amp with the narrower spacing rca jacks to a pre amp. Both units are tubed. Any recommendations for a nice 1 meter pair of interconnects with nice narrow profile rca plugs? Thanks Norm

Nice cables can be a relative and/or subjective term. What is the maximum price level within the budget?
This would be for a meter or possibly 1/2 meter pair. I look forward to any suggestions you might have. Norm
Do you prefer copper or silver analog interconnect cables?
cord, to nordost or morrow cables, old cardas, PBJ, cables etc. Just looking for a good quality, not break the bank, interconnect. Much of the bigger name stuff came from when times were more flush. Thanks for any ideas you may have. Norm
Is this for the Lafayette pre/power amplification set-up you've mentioned in AA?
What make/model loudspeakers are in the associated audio system?
Audio Auricle Design/ JW Audio Cryo Nova --both way under your budget- both smooth but the Cryo Nova are more extended in the highs and lows
I used these with my vintage Scott gear. If you need more room between plugs, you can unscrew and remove the cover. Use a small length of electrical tape between plugs. It is good sounding wire, works well with tube gear. Should be able to pick-up a used pair in the $50.00 to $80.00 range.
at anticables site, they are 50% off now
With a connector diameter of 0.48" (12.3mm), I don't consider the Neutrik Rean NYS373 rca connector to be classified as narrow profile. 10.5mm connector diameter (or less) is a more appropriate narrow profile type option, IMO.
The 0.37" (9.4mm) Switchcraft SWC-3502A and Canare F-09 are often recommended as narrow profile rca connectors for vintage audio applications. The 10.5mm premium-priced 1877 PHONO ZRP-4 looks like a nice option for critical listening applications.

At $1.89 a pop at Parts Express, it doen't cost much to find out if they will fit, and then you could put them on any wire.

Yep.
I don't have those anymore, all mine have Silver Eichmanns now but I don't remember them being but a tiny bit wider than the diameter that grabs the ground. I never had issues using them on old vintage gear either. Mac,Eico,HK. But hey that was just my experience. I'm sure there is one narrower but it couldn't be that much narrower. Now the original Anti-cable interconnect was very minimal. Only one ground was attached with a sleeve that fit over it and just a center pin for both channels. Those I still have in a box somewhere that I could photo. They would be the smallest footprint if you will.
