Second, any old piece of crap phono leed will do.

For short lengths. and it really *ought* to be 75 ohm, too. That
said, 6m probably counts as short.

No - For any length!


What a load of ****. Do you know what an "ohm" is?


I suspect you think it's a simple measurement of resistance. Not so,
with cables carrying high-frequency signals.


OK, I've just read back the thread too :-)

Practically-speaking, short lengths of damp string often work.
Longer lengths need the right cable. Why would YOU say this was?
