WOW......CORNFEDBOY YOUR SO COOL........YOU ARE LOST FROM YOUR REGULAR CHAT, LET ME HELP YOU BACK...... WWW.DICKHEAD.COM
Yo Ringo, I think what Cornfed was trying to say is that this question has been asked and answered many times. More importantly, a search would have given you the answer instantly, instead of the snide remarks from the peanut gallery, as opposed to helpful suggestions >:(

Here are some threads of interest I found:

Or try a search for "balanced" and you will find a ton of discussions regarding not only cables, but what it means to be "balanced" in terms of circuit designs too.
