Something like RG59B/U / Belden 8241 (Maplin XS52G) would probably be
suitable. 6mm O/D so would need a suitable phono plug, perhaps Maplin JU06G
I suppose the solid core would be ok for the static 'stuck on the
floorspace' runs but for the ends shouldn't it really be stranded (I
assume you can get it like that) for flexibility ..?


Why, how often will you be moving it?


Good point, however if there was a standed equiv with the same spec
wouldn't it be prudent to use it?

Ideally individually screened, figure-8 audio cables readily available,
eg Maplin XS93B, XS39N, XR21X,
Quite a selection there!
And all less than 7mm od so will go in the fancy phono connectors ;-)


Although to be honest in a domestic environment you could probably use
some phone cable and it wouldn't make much difference.


Quite possibly .. ;-)

I suppose environmental noise (electrical and audible), the quality of
the overall equipment and the accuracy of the ear of the listener will
all also play a part ..


You're wiring your lounge up, not a BBC regional transmission suite. I
leave it to you to decide whether this determines quality or economy of
approach.


Well that's just me I suppose ... If I have a choice between say 5
quid and a 'suck it and see' solution or 15 and 'that's the dogs' I'd
invest the extra tenner rather than face either suffering the
compromise or the work ripping it out and starting again?

If the alternative was 100 pounds then I would have to think very hard
.. ;-)

All the best ..

the twin audio coax should be around 20-30p/metre retail
