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)?

Tony, as you can see, both Jafox and I have done little to conceal our admiration for Purist products. I would suggest you consider (and keep an eye out for used) a pair of their entry level Musaeus ICs (also search 'Museaus,' for those who don't spell it correctly). It's a bargain compared to their two most expensive models and you might even be able to afford a new pair (contact 'Bobgates' a member for good prices.)

By way of comparison, a friend of mine had been using a pair of my Maestro speaker cables with his Levinson 23.5 and Maggie Tympani 1-Ds. Not bad -- (you have to crank the Maggies up to get them to really sing) -- but he recently replaced them with a pair of Musaeus speaker cables, and I was quite amazed at the difference, especially in high end sparkle and stronger bass.
Thanks to you both. I'll look at that other thread, John. One thing I do not want to do is get something that is either fatiguing or intoduces its own personality. I know that a very tough call for a long IC, but I'll have to look.
I would look into the Placette interconnects. Very very transparent cables. We listened to a very long run of Placette cables (not quite 25 ft) and compared them to a 1.5 meter pair, and they were almost indistinguishable. Also, they are very reasonably priced.
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.
