Long RCA ICs - which ones fit this bill?

I plan to hook up a Pass X1 to a FetValve 550. As van Alstine amps do not have XLR ins I have to use single ended ICs. The kicker is that they need to be about 25 feet long. I spoke to both Frank, and Kent over at Pass. I am advised to use a straight coaxial design, fully braided shield, with as low a capacitance per foot as possible (<< 20 pf/ft if possible). The other kicker is that I don't want to spend an ungodly sum on these cables. What can I get in the cheap category that will fit the bill (not to exceed $1000)?

Ggil, do you have a link? When I do a search for Placette I only get the company that does passives and volume controls.

Try "Signal Cable ". I use a RCA 20 ft. pair from my Lamm preamp to my Pass Aleph mono's.

Tom, how would you describe the sound of the Signal Cable at this length?

Well, it is open, fast, lots of detail. No hum or any distortions.
