Cable lengths

I am a novice, yet must ask the question to budget my future upgrades if possible. I need 15ft speaker cable lengths to one electrostatic speaker and the other only a few feet. Can
I use differant length cables without damaging the sound quality.

Yup, go with the same length. The simple answer is that the damping of the two cables is different if they are different lengths, also your high frequencies may roll off differently. (And it's really, really tough to sell two cables of different lengths! :-))

Wow, nice Bufus, I never would have thought it made that much of a difference (furtively slinking away to uncoil his cables). :-)
