Is there an optimal interconnect lenght?


Assuming that space and rack is not an issue is there an optimum interconnect lenght? One of my friends told me that I should avoid buing anything less than 0.6m cause it wont have enough time to "work". Is this correct?

The shortest is the best.

Remember: The longer the 'connection' the higher the resistance and the bigger the possibility that the cable will turn into a 'nasty' microphone. Yes- a microphone!

Cables don't "work" - their job is to transfer electrons between the components more or less perfectly. The longer the more difficult it is for the electrons to travel.
Different dielectrics & electron-carriers (copper, silver, carbon) may cause that cables sound different from eachother.
