Diving into balanced


Hi everyone. I’m making the jump to separates and as such am thinking that balanced is the way to go (unless people here say otherwise). If my preamp sits exactly 12" above my amp would you suggest a .5m balanced cable or longer? It seems like it should work fine but i’m not familiar enough with the ends to be sure.

Looking to hear from everyone’s experiences. Thanks!

+3 on 1 meter.  I did the .5m thing and needed to replace them eventually.

Some cables, esp power cables, perform better at 1.75 to 2m.
