Camelboy...really? The remote sensor turn on uses a very small voltage pulse to activate the circuit, and it's not in the signal path. I would be very surprised if it made any difference at all.
3.5mm mini plug cable
I'd like to connect my Rotel multi-channel amp to my Rotel AVR using the 12V trigger feature so it turns on and off with the receiver. I need to purchase a 3.5mm mini plug cable. Does it matter what the quality is? Would an inexpensive Radio Shack 3' length cable do the trick or can this actually impact sound quality?
