long i/c run...looking for high end cable

I have a 40ft i/c run from my h/t processor to my monoblocks which are in the front of the room. I've heard that Synergistic Research is one of the best high end i/c for very long runs? Any thoughts or other suggestions? I will be auditioning a pair next week as well as a pair of Vahallas.

thanks,

Jon

Whatever brand of cables that you end up going with, with that long of a run, i would HIGHLY recommend using balanced cables. Sean

Balanced Goertz Micropurl interconnect did it for me, 30 foot long run between my BAT VK30 preamp and BAT VK500 amp. I tried using single-ended cables first, they served as an excellent antenna! Balanced only for long runs Jon.

I will definitely be using balanced cables...I should have listed the amps and processor...amps are Levinson 436's processor is ML No. 40, speakers are Revel Salons.

thanks again,

I'm using 22 ft long Harmonic Tech Truth Links unbalanced. Not a real expensive cable to be sure but they sound better in my system than some much more expensive cables i've tried. I have had no noticible increase in noise floor since i went from 1.5 m run to the 4 m. If your amp and preamp aren't truely balanced in their design, having balanced inputs isn't evidence of a balanced design, the balanced cables may not help.
