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

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.

Since you seem to have the scratch why don't you order a balanced Innersound cable from their website? Then you will have a backup and a baseline from which to compare the expensive cables. If you look at my system I am very happy with my Innersound (8M) - you'll need 10 or 12 M I think. The Innersound is built on sound engineering principles.

You'll be surprized but Canare pro-grade balanced cables available at Sam Ash Music store will do the trick with long runs at measurable price paid.

And I thought my 4 m. run was long! I have been using the Stealth PGS-3D from Interlink. It is gold litz and excellent. I would prefer Siltech G5 Compass Lake were I Bill Gates. I have tried Pure Note, Jena Labs, and several lesser cables in my 4 m. run, but have found nothing close to the Stealth.

Tbg,

Yep I've got a really long run...I'm currently using Tranparent Ref w/xl. I had them from my system in my townhome. When I bought a house I had a dedicated theater built where I also do my music listening. I had the equipment room built using the Transparents, unfortunately I didn't think about changing cables until the system was hooked up for a couple months. It will be a pain to reconfigure the equipment room & move the equipment closer to the front of the room where the monoblocks are. Even if I did move it closer I'd still need at least a 5 meter run & I'm thinking there may not be much of a difference between that an a 10 or 11 meter run. I could be wrong though...BTW the transparents I'm using now are balanced. I auditioned some Vahallas this weekend & they weren't bad at all. they were only 5 meters though.
