I would go with the Standard or maybe gold plated if they aren't (just for long term contact stability).




Nope, English isn't my mother tongue. But that's why I'm here. smile

Use telephone cable from the 50's bet you will hear zero difference

You won't hear a difference, you won't fix AC hum... but if you are running a long'ish cable past a lot of electronics you may not get any interference if you've been suffering from that.
