30 foot long Balanced Cables to Balanced/RCA Adapters into Amp's Stereo RCA inputs?


I put this under 'cables', and am repeating it here because I always get good help here.

...........................................


I just bought Blu-Ray player: Oppo BDP-105, arrives in a few days.

 Primarily for it's 2 channel audio quality.

It just occurred to me, I could use all of it's audio, video, future streaming features if I:

1. Locate it in the small Home Theater system

2. HDMI to AVR of Home Theater, and

3. Balanced Outputs (audio only): 30 feet to the 2 channel amp in main music system (far end of the same room), use balanced/rca adapters at the amps rca in jacks.

then I could always access/see the menu for audio setup, and use all of it's capabilities

I've never used Balanced Cables.

Advice? Concerns? Avoid doing this!!!

I could buy 50 ft cable for more slack both ends: any reason to keep it to 30 ft?

thanks for any help,

Elliott

% of purity between Pure and OFC is very slight
Actually if they are being honest there isn't any at all. 'Pure' is a marketing term; OFC is what there is.

Big Thinker.

1st, Two units? That is not in my DNA.

2nd, the lowest current price for BDP-105 is $950, that’s the one I bought for $900. The Darbee unit (even better video?) is another $100. typically.

These things hold their price well, I missed a very good price, $700, however I suspect it’s laser had done a LOT of work, mine barely used. The lasers go bad, I just had to return a BDP-83 with a failed laser.

3rd: IF I get superior audio from 35 lt, and superior video and audio in HT, that’s an accomplishment I would have denied myself if I didn’t try. How clever/brilliant I am!! LOL.

4th. I want to try it, learn, fail? back to it’s primary audio near the amp.


Conductivity of copper is a constant. What you want is resistance per unit of length. There are tables on line for that in terms of AWG. If it even matters. Yes, 16ga has a lower resistance per unit of length than 22ga.

I would have sourced the transformer from Jensen and installed it right at the amplifier input, saving several interconnection s in the signal path.
lewm,

IF I stay with the long run, I will probably upgrade to the Jensen.

IF, without a proper transfer box, it defeats the advantage of Balanced, why do they make and sell these?
