I had looked into increasing the length of my IC's (in order to decrease my speaker cable runs) and was told that it would not be a good idea by two different manufacturers. The difference though between mine and Sam's setup is that I would have been running long IC's that carry the digital/analog signal prior to it reaching the preamp section. I could have either increased my digital cable from transport to DAC of the analog IC's from DAC to amp. I have two integrated amps and do not have seperate pre/power amps. Does this seem right, or is anyone using long IC's such as these in combination with shorter speaker cables with good results? By long IC's runs I am talking 15' - 20'. Both of the people that I contacted lost a sale by giving me this advice and I know that they were sincere.
Speaker Cable Length
I know that this thread has been visited before in gerneral terms, but I would appreciate feedback relative to my specific situation. My current speaker cables are 15 feet each. What, if any benefit, will result in using 10-12 feet lengths? What about 8 feet (the shortest I might be able to go after extensive re-arranging of equipment)? Thanks in advance.
