this is how I have my media room set up, and I had to run 30 ft IC's to my front amps, 35 ft to my rear amp. I fully anticipated noise or degraded sound before I installed it, but have been perfectly happy with the results. I even did an A/B with shorter cables first - and couldn't notice the difference.
Building dedicated room with long RCA interconnect
I m current building a dedicated room 2channel?HT set up and is engaging Rives audio. To optimise my room set up, it is preferable to place my rack on the long side wall. Morever with a motorised screen and centre channel speaker, having equipment racks will certainly impede my centre channel set up. However, I m currently using CJ ACT 2.2 and CJ 350 amp which support rca interconnects only ( somehow CJ dont believe in the merit of balanced interconnect). I was told previously when I acquire about the lack of balanced interconnect connection that 5m rca interconnect would be fine if its properly shielded. Kindly advise as I have to decide whether to go with a design with equipment rack in between front speakers or at the side wall with long interconnect (15-20ft). TQ

what IC you used? Here's my cables: Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 Low Capacitance Audio Cable They are indeed low capacitance and low noise. 5 IC's for under $250! This is why I just did it. I figured even if I didn't like it, I could resell them with minimal loss to someone who would re-terminate them as shorter runs (or do this myself). BTW - I like their RCA connectors better than any others I've tried. |
