Shorter or longer ICs?


I have a pair of monoblocks and was wonderng whether it is sonically better to have the amps next to the speakers with longer interconnects from the pre or closer to the pre, but with longer speaker cables to the speakers? Thanks.

Depends on whether your amps are SS or tube. Very generally speaking, SS amps are more able to drive long runs of speaker cable, so short i/c's and long spkr cables will give you the least negative effects. BUT, if you have tube amps, then long i/c's and short spkr cables are probably a better choice.
Hope this helps. ATB, Joe
