Thanks 'superguru', that came at just the right time.

Mainly through info on this board, I was coming to the conclusion that a low L cable,
probably of woven construction, might work well.
As I have a valve amp, the L and R of the output transformer should
ensure stability even with a high capacitance woven cable.

I've seen the valuable info on DIY Cat 5 cables and I'm tempted, but I
think the result would be too large in diameter for my problem installation.
Among the snake oil and misinformation about cables, I think there is
a lot of true physics and engineering; one such seems to be that PTFE insulation works well.

All of which suggests a woven ptfe insulated cable; to suit my desired diameter I am strongly considering Kimber 4TC.

I've seen many good reports on this one and I think it could suit me well. I'll ponder a few days more before ordering .....

Thanks to all who have helped me here.
