Right you are tvad. So long rca interconnects are not the solution. But I don't like using long speaker cables either.

Should I use long interconnects, or long speaker cables?
Currently, my equipment rack is placed centered between and behind the speakers. I’m getting acoustic feedback (rumble) from my tt due to it’s location. Successfully, I have eliminated this rumble by using a KAB rumble filter. However, this seems to me like a bandaid approach, and I would like to try to eliminate the use of this filter if possible. I’m thinking of moving my equipment rack to the side wall to try to eliminate the rumble filter. My question is, there are two ways to do this. Is it best to:
#1). Move everything (including the amplifier) to the side wall, and use long speaker cables to connect the amplifier to the speakers.
#2. Move everything, except leave the amplifier on the floor (on a separate amp stand), and run a long interconnect (20’-25’) from the preamp to the power amp (my preamplifier is single ended only)?
In advance, thanks for your guidance!

Rule of thumb is long IC's are better that long speaker cables. Move your source over and hook it up with cheap Canare: https://www.redco.com/Canare-Standard-Microphone-Cable/ If it solves your problem you can take your sweet time researching better cabling. I would try the springs under the table before all that work, myself. |
See my thread on springs under turntables for more info. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/springs-under-turntable |
Simple $30 Nobsound spring fix vs complicated expensive move everything around see if maybe that works. So of course we are running 3 against one in favor of what we know will only spend money without producing the desired result. Springs would not only eliminate the problem but be an improvement. OP should definitely read the springs under turntable thread. But will he? |
