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

clearthinker 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. https://www.hifishark.com/model/oppo-bdp-105 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? https://www.amazon.com/Cardas-Audio-Male-Adapters-MRCA-MXLR/dp/B00VMVJ6K6/ref=sr_1_19?dchild=1&k... |
