Budget Low-Capacitance Interconnects

The entry-level interconnects from Signal Cable would also do the trick. (www.signalcable.com) From the Web site: "Nom. Capacitance - 28.5 pF/ft." Mind you, I wouldn't know from a picofarad if it sat down beside me at dinner and picked up the tab, but I do know that this is a very low number. (I have no connection to Signal Cable besides being a very happy, repeat customer.) In a different set-up I was running in my previous residence, I ran a very long pair of SC interconnects from the preamp to my amps (around a corner and on a different wall) and they worked fabulously. Plus, Frank is a great guy to deal with.

Blue Jeans LC-1 Low-Capacitance Audio Cable

Here's a good article on the subject: DESIGNER CABLES: a critical look

second Bluejeans cable

what do you mean by budget? under $100? under $50? i'd suggest nordost blue heaven (used) if that's not stretching too far.

I third the Blue Jeans LC1 (C=12.2 pF/ft).

I didn't realize the capacitance of the Blue Heaven was this low (C=8.1 pF/ft).
