Long interconnect cables


Hi All,

I am considering moving my equipment to the side of my listening room and retaining only the amplifiers between the speakers.

If I were to do this it would obviously mean running a longer than normal interconnect from the preamplifier to the monoblocks (maybe around 4 feet). I'd be interested to hear from others who have done this and whether it represents a compromise sound-wise or whether anything can be done to ensure that the sound is not affected.

Thanks

If you run XLR there should be no audible difference, if RCA - I don't know, you might hear something. What length do you use now?
Thanks everyone - I think 4 feet was too low. Currently equipment is between speakers so interconnects are the standard 1m to 1.5 m at most. I could see in the future requiring a run of up to 8-10 feet, perhaps more.
I've got an 11' pair between my preamp and monoblocks, but the capacitance is extremely low on these cables. No problem.
The best place for the amp is between the 2 speakers. The best place for the components is far away. I'm running 6 meters with no ill effects.
