Your opinions, please?
What would be the most transparent solution for a 20 foot unbalanced run?
I'm attracted to Litz/Kapton construction, but doubt I can afford it.

RG58U coax with WBT locking connectors.

Interesting idea.
I'm not familiar with "WBT".
They twist/solder directly onto 58 ?

Both soldering and crimping plugs.

The nice part is that the plugs can be locked in place by twisting the
bush around.

RG58U is the most underrated audio cable ever.
Can even be used for digital! ;-)

I agree.
It does require that the mating equipment have sturdy chassis mounted RCA's.

Not necessarily.
When the outer bush is turned loose, the plug comes off very easily.
However, a good quality RCA receptacle is recommended.

BTW RG58 sounds good (enough) to me.
I had the chance to compare my home made sets of interconnects to
various expensive RCA cables in the past, and in no way they were of
lesser quality, except visually. who cares when they're on the back of
the equipment, out of sight?

Yeah, I know, constructor's ear. ;-)

Try reading things like audioXpress, you'll see ad for WBT in nearly
every issue.
