Hi Duster,
Running twin cables, each having their own shield, makes sense.
I didn't know about the benefits of the dielectric used in the Mogami W3159 hook-up wire.
This sounds like it would be a really good build.
Even more enticing with your suggestion to make some interconnects for myself!
Thanks for this Duster.
Your suggestions, and all the research you put into them, are really appreciated.
Cheers!

If you wish to do one-stop shopping for the cable and connectors, the Canare F-10 features a Teflon dielectric, so it would be the most advisable to select from their list of rca connectors, Jonesy.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Cheers!

I almost forgot to add, since the thin cable jacket is not a heavy-duty design, braided sleeving should be used to cover the cable when implemented as a line-level interconnect cable. It's not vital, but it will protect the jacket from nicks, and provide more rigidity for the wispy cable. In this case, the sleeving would not only be for "good looks".
As far as looks are concerned, the Mogami W3159 cable looks quite good with the Platinum (dark gray colored) Techflex sleeving, IME.
See link:
I came across some of your older posts regarding the use of Techflex for the W3159. So in a roundabout way, you've already given me the heads-up!
Thanks for taking the time to mention it again.
Those threads on metallurgy and dielectrics are really interesting. I will be going back to re-read them.
It's not that I was never aware of the importance of their properties. I just never knew why.
Cheers!
