Thanks for the suggestion. belden would be nice to use but I cant get
the good stuff in the UK. only yucky foil under thin braid. and the
cost of the shipping and importing it from the US is high.

Ever hear of a UK retail supplier named Maplin?

They have a web site at http://www.maplin.co.uk/

Here's a cable from their catalog that has a big thick copper center
conductor composed of 7 strands of roughly 20 gauge wire, and heavy
copper
braid.

"URM67 50 ohm heavy duty RF cable"

according to

http://www.cdt-uk.co.uk/cat3pdfs/Ray...%20Bro%208.pdf

It has a DC resistance of 10.9 ohms per kilometer, or 0.011 ohms per
meter,
or 0.0037 ohms per foot which is roughly the same as 12 gauge 2-conductor
speaker cable.


Thanks Arny I forgot about Maplin's -silly me.
I will take a look at it, but I tend to prefer solid wire for the power side
(i've never been too impresed with the mutlistrands ive heard) Im currently
using a litz twisted pair config12*2*24. Which sound nice! - I will say no
more, for fear of "them"
