Thanks for the posts, guys. I've just bought an AlephP to run balanced to the Aleph2 monoblocks, so won't I be safe running enequal BALANCED interconnects, but using equal, shorter speaker cables? (Hate to have 5 extra meters of interconnect flopping around...!
Asymmetric Interconnect/Speaker Cable?
Bought Aleph 2 pair. Hardware on right side of room. Will run 2.5m equal interconnects with 2.5m + 7.5m unequel speaker cables, or vice versa. I know conventional wisdom suggests keeping the spkr lines short, but NORDOST insists that their cables work fine both longer AND unequal, and that I should keep the interconnects shorter and higher quality! They suggest 2.5m Red Dawn IC with 2.5 + 7.5m Blue Heaven SpkrCable. I'm lost...plus I hear cheaper Flatline is just as good. I'm powering Verity Audio Encores (89dB, 4.5-9.5 ohms). Thanks!
