CAT5 and CAT6 cables are cheap, easy to make and they sound good. They have good microdynamics and airiness, bass may be problem. http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/cat5questions_e.html

Are you making RCA to RCA? If so I would use Canare LV-77S. I am kind of new here and I don't see too many people using this cable but in the DIY Home theater community its pretty well regarded. I would also highly recommend the Canare RCAP-C77 but you need to either get creative with putting them on or buy a pretty expensive die set. LV-77S is pretty flexible and has a stranded center conductor. Of course its only 2 conductor so if you wanted to make any 3 conductor cables you will need to buy something else.

Markertek sells it for .71 pre foot USD


here is the spec sheet

It is a different gauge, mini uses [4] 26ga conductors instead of [4] 24's for regular SQ. Here's a link to more info.
