Audioquest question

I currently use Audioquest RCA's for interconnects and I'm considering updating my preamp. Most preamps/integrated have RCA connections in the rear that are vertical and close to each other. The Cary Audio SL-100 has horizontal connections that are several inches apart. The AQ cables are only separated by a couple of inches before it becomes one cable. Can they be separated---what should I do? Get different cables or can these be separated? Thanks guys!

@hifiman5 Sorry for the confusion---from the 4 ends (connections), the cable narrows down to one cord. Does that make sense? So it's one cable with 2 connections on each end. The 2 connections that would go to the SL100 are will not stretch to 5-6 inches apart.

@bluorion   The right interconnect in a pair, has an RCA jack at each end of that right channel cable.  The same goes for the left channel cable.  There is no narrowing to one cord.  Are you perhaps talking about speaker cables not interconnects?
I'm not trying to be difficult.  I just want to understand what we're discussing here.  Thanks!

I understand your concerns. From the images I've seen on line, I would say no you can't. You need to buy separate cables. Plenty of choices...the last interconnect I bought (being 50% off) was closeout Wireworld Equinox 7's. Absolutely fantastic. If you could find such a deal, I highly recommend them. Good Luck!

Hifman5,
Google Audioquest Evergreen interconnect and you will see what the OP is talking about.  The cable goes from 2 ends to 1 cable.

Newer AQ IC are in configuration OP describes and I easily understand his issue. What I don't understand is the distance between plug ins. Never seen a component that had the left/right spread that far apart unless it was the main outputs to amp in which case it could still be used .
