Different lengths of interconnects ??????


Have you ever tried using a pair of interconnects in different lengths to connect preamp and mono block amps? Can it cause one channel delay or any phase problems?

My Preamp is placed on left side behind my active ATC speakers, but I always use a pair of interconnects in same length between my preamp and the built-in power amp of my speakers.

Now I have a chance to buy pair of Valhalla XLR interconnects in different lengths, one 1.7m and another 3.5m, from another city. They are just about the right length from my preamp to left and right channel of my speakers, and price is good. I am not sure if it is OK to use interconnects in this way. Anyone have this experience?

Many thanks!

Thought some of you might be interested in this, as I was curious when several people wrote that electrons move at the speed of light through wire. That did not seem correct to me, so I did a bit of investigaing. Here is what I came up with.

How Fast do Electrons move through wire

(By the way, I am not saying that what the others wrote was wrong, it was just not as correct as it could have been.)
