RCA interconnects, can I expect 3.5 meter to offer good performance?


I have been  wanting to move my amplifier and that would require longer I/C cables, 3.5 meters to be exact. I am currently using a Classe CT-2300 power amp and Classe CT-SSP preamp-processor, all 2 channel sources use analogue bypass and are passed to the power amp via 2.5 meter Ainticables in XLR .

Why wouldn't I just buy 3.5 meter XLR cables? Well I have been considering buying a Don Sachs SP-14  tube preamp for my 2 channel music listening and that has RCA outs. My Classe power amp uses metal inserts to short XLR pins 1 and 3 together allowing use of RCA interconnects.Could I expect this longer RCA i/c run to sound good? It is possible to maintain a 2.5 meter RCA i/c, but I would really like to move my amplifer.

Any thoughts on this are greatly appreciated!

I'm using 3.5 meter interconnect from preamp to amp sitting between the 2 speakers, but they're balanced.  To get a professional opinion call the guy at ClearDay cables...he knows lots about this stuff and is very honest.
