The speakers cables were made for me by a local tech and I do not have the specs. I will report back after I try the shorter ICs. Regarding my prior 3 meter ICs I I started with cardas microtwin, which seemed to "round out" the sound and were a little muddy, then I changed to a more expensive cardas - I can't recall the specific model - which was a step up - and then I had 3 meter ICs made by Stephen Sank, who is a tech/modifier of equipment based in Arizona - they are unshielded and were inexpensive - but were MUCH better than the other 2 - so I may purchase shorter ICs from him or send the 3 meter back and have him make 2 pair of shorter ICs.
length of interconnects for passive preamp
I understand that when using a passive preamp short interconnects are recommended. I have two questions before I purchase them: Does that short length requirement apply to both the ic between the source and passive as well as the passive and the amp? And regarding the length itself, is the shortest always best? I see that some companies offer a 1 foot or even 6" length - which I could use, although it would require some serious rearranging of my equipment; but will those very short lengths provide a noticeable improvement over a 1.5 meter or 2 foot ic? Not sure if there is a rule of thumb. Many thanks!
