Definitely go with a one meter cable. The amount of stress of the bend at the connector can and will become weakened over time .
Diving into balanced
Hi everyone. I’m making the jump to separates and as such am thinking that balanced is the way to go (unless people here say otherwise). If my preamp sits exactly 12" above my amp would you suggest a .5m balanced cable or longer? It seems like it should work fine but i’m not familiar enough with the ends to be sure.
Looking to hear from everyone’s experiences. Thanks!
