Anyone here ever make their own? What's a good signal cable? Thinking of terminating with something from VT4C. One could easily build a pair of cables for less than $20........Colin

I almost always make my own. For short runs, a coax cable works well. For longer ones, a twisted pair or interleaved quad would be better. If you run a balanced signal, that's definitely the way to go.

Guitarman has some interesting continuous cast copper from Vampire that looks good.
Check it out!

I just made a pair of IC's from 6' of Cardas co-ax that Percy clearanced for 5 bucks. I suspect it's Belden 89259 which would be a good thing.
The RCA's are Yarbo's Colin got for me at a great price:) I'm trying them right now as Phono leads. Not really payimg attention yet.
You should look at Blue Jeans Cable. They have Belden 1505 terminated with canare 75 ohm. I paid $42 delivered for a 15 foot pair.
You can't make'm that well yourself for that price.
And they do no harm.
