source for long component and IC

looking for low cost 25' component and IC to run from player to amp.

Is this too long for IC at this signal strength?

have looked at Bluejean cable is there a better choice?

thanks

For 25 ft I hope you mean Balanced IC's because they should be fine. Rca's wont cut it (too much signal loss with a low output)

No it would not be balanced...

What is the longest RCA IC (my friend) can run?

20 ft may be long enough

I have Bluejeans LC-1 IC's in my home theater. The shortest are 28ft, longest 33'(rears) and I've been very happy with them. My home theater is a dual purpose (ie 2 channel) systems, and as a baseline I used shorter ICs (Audience Maestro) with my 2 channel before routing the longer set up. It wasn't a scientific comparison, but it was a/b and I didn't notice any adverse impact. It's very quiet, and no loss of signal (that my ears notice)
