Jon, thanks and here are some things I'm sorting through

Seems that it's impossible to get a consistent recommendation, but here's what I've garnered so far (and I deeply trust your experience):

1) coax design, not braided or other analog IC geometries
2) double or even triple shielded (floating ground or cap connected on outermost shield)
3) solid core, not stranded core
4) if copper, not silver plated core - or solid silver core alternative (which do you think is best?)
5) Teflon as much as possible, especially near the core
6) good "75 Ohm" RCAs, but nothing really approaches true 75 in RCAs

So if those are they keys, then I could play with a variety of designs. Belden seems to have several suitable coax designs that fit the above, including the 1151A, which nobody mentions.
