Speaker cable vs. interconnect cable length

If it were me I would go with the 20 foot interconnects.

I agree with Eldartford, with SS it shouldn't be a problem. I have a high gain tube amp with an output impedence of 600 ohms. I use 25' IC's and can detect no loss of information when compared to 3' IC's. Just keep the IC's away from anything which might introduce noise, such as parallel power cords, transformers, etc.

Tonyptony, Depending your budget, the new Harmonic Tech Cyberlight cables (in non-balanced RCA type) have absolutely zero loss over very long runs. This is due to thier fiber optic technology. No need to use balanced cables for long runs anymore. Although the 1 meter run is expensive, the 5 to 8 meter cables start to become cost competitive with the other long state of the art cables out there. Go to Harmonic's website and read the reviews. I think the concept makes sense, should change the future of cables, and ordered some last week.

Tgun5, that's out of my price range. I like the concept, though. We use stuff like this all the time at work - that is, wire to fiber converters. Mostly either for digital data or streaming video. The fiber converters we use, however, are not that small.

Interconnect carries just signal
Speaker cable carries signal and power
