Any lamp cord would work for speakers, how thick were you contemplating?

can you get thinner diameter mains cables and RCA
Use the correct mains cable for the equipment. If the equipment is double insulated, flat 2-core is smaller overall than round. RCA cables can easily be <4mm OD, the super fat "audiophile" ones are a marginal gain you're probably going to have to do without. The easiest speaker wire to fit into conduit will be two single cores rather than a two-core cable. Thin-walled LV cable like this will carry 200W into 8Ω even in the smallest 0.5mm² size

Just got some van damme blue 1.5mm2 x 2, super flexible, just pulled it through a 4' slate hearth without much bother. Measures approx 7mm OD

@aggi
I put some 20mm conduit in to connect up various pieces of equipment either side of a chimney breast. Now I've put it in I'm a bit concerned that it's not thick enough (too late to change now) so am pondering narrow cables.
In particular can you get thinner diameter mains cables and RCA. Ideally I want to fit RCA cable to turntable, mains cable and 2x speaker wire which could be a push. Any tips?
