My ICs are short…..duh!


I am sure many of us have been in this situation. Lol.  After rearranging my rig, the ICs between the amp and pre are short.  Sh^t!  Should have measure twice. Lol again.  But I really like the new arrangement and would like to keep it.

These are 2 meter balanced Cardas Golden Reference ICs.

What do you think about joining two ICs together, a 1 meter to the 2 meter Golden Reference, to create the needed length?  

Using this configuration now.  But it is too soon to determine if this will affect quality over the long run.

What, if any, are you experiences with using similar ICs in series?

Thanks,

Jed

Hi good morning....

Thanks for the comments and advice.

You goners said that they have had no negative affects with this configuration.  Some maybes.  So, I will keep listening and for now I will continue with the double ICs.    

If I hear this affects the sound poorly or the idea of 2 IC connected together drives me crazy, then i will look into purchasing longer ICs and selling the current sets.  Is this what the stimulus payout is for?

I find changes like this can be subtle and may take a few listening sessions to recognize whether the changes are for the good or bad.
