I just went from 2 channel amp to mono blocks. Is it important that I stop using 4 meter audio quest rocket 88 and downsize to 6 ft? Will there be an audible improvement?
For whatever it is worth, my speakers' instruction manual says to use as short of a cable as possible. I doubt the difference in you cutting yours in half would be audible, but less mess cannot hurt.
careful with the mono block argument for shorter speaker cables... unless you are moving the speakers closer together you are replacing the span with interconnects to the mono blocks - that may well be a losing trade... making a smaller signal travel farther
balanced ic’s often a solution in this case, but then you get into whether the equipment is truly balanced or just having xlr plugs instead of rca
as usual, all else equal is the key phrase... it rarely is...
The shorter the better but with wires thicker than about 10 awg, noone will be able to tell the difference, unless you are a superhuman spectrum analyzer.
