What's better, one conductor or two conductors for an RCA interconnect?

Greetings 

Jumia consider moving this post to the Cable Forum.

Lots of knowledgeable people on this site to provide you with more input.

If you have only one conductor that is a coaxial cable which is used for hooking up a antenna to a tuner or your cable TV or communication hookups.

It probably would work but interconnect cables (RCA/SE) are 2 conductor with or without shield. Everyone of my RCA cables are 2 conductor. Some have shields some don’t.

Try the Cable Company for a loaner RCA/SE cable so you can hear the difference for yourself.

Let me please clarify my statement from my earlier response.

Your coaxial cable can also be used for digital signals. Such as from a transport or music server to your DAC. A good coaxial cable is important to have.

Once you get into the analog world having a 2 wire RCA/SE or 3 wire XLR/Balanced cable is needed. Such as from a TT or DAC to your pre-amp.
This could change in the future as our equipment gets more digitized.
