you use solid-core cable. Belden 89259 has a stranded central core - and of course a stranded shield.

If you read the late, great Allen Wright books, he was very much into solid core cable - so that is what I use. Belden 3079A is 2x solid-core copper wires underneath a double shield. The 2 wires give you signal 'hot' and signal 'ground' ... and you just connect the braided shield to the RCA barrel at the source end only (so it doesn't become part of the signal chain).

And your extra strengthening heatshink over the back end of the RCA barrels and the Belden is in fact a good idea ... it damps the RCA barrels.
