Out of interest, how does the capacitance of ordinary TV coax (which
will be 75 ohms, of course) compare with 'proper' mic cable? Of course,
a lot of audio is balanced (usually nominally 600 ohms), which makes
things generally less prone to the pick-up of interference. Unbalanced
connections via coax (even if proper screened audio cable) is
less-tolerant.
600 ohms is dead and buried, for the audio world.The only time it is
mentioned is in data sheets, "will drive XXdB into 600R" etc
