Almost any good 'recipe' for silver cables is going to yeild exel results,,

In my experience a few ideas which may improve things a bit:

*sleeve just the signal+ conuctor

*make the signal+ conductor just a bit longer than the return- cond.
and/or
use two wires for the return-
and/or
make - slightly larger guage than + ***

*keep maximum space between + and - ,, but not so far appart as to allow RF to creep in...

*try to achieve near to 90 degrees perpendicular where + and - cross, or come into close prox. ie good geometry wb like a heilix or a LOOSE braid.
