Where do I make the long run IC or speaker cable?


I have the option of placing the amp near my speakers or leaving them where they are. Where would I benefit with a short ic cable run or short speaker cable run?

I'm pretty much repeating what's been said...I agree with Elizabeth and Nsgarch. In general, longer interconnects and shorter speaker cables give the lowest signal loss. This is what I've always heard from audio dealers. However, as a former Conrad Johnson owner--they recommend short interconnects-(3 meters or less, but I'm going by memory as far as exact length)- due to their design. I've also heard that balanced interconnects can carry a signal further, but again, I've noticed that some people have stated that they had very long runs of single ended/RCA interconnects with no signal loss problems. It all depends on a manufacturer's preamp design and is normally stated in their literature. Stan
