The success of your quest depends largely on cable shield quality and also on avoiding magnetic fields as transformers, power supply, dimmers, etc. Regards Pete.

Some folks typically the there's no such than as too-high of a damping factor crowd will use long "interconnects" so that they may place their power amplifiers monoblocks as close to their loudspeakers as possible.

Ross , Nov 30, It doesn't seem that inductance is a real issue in interconnects, but the whole reason that short runs are recommended for a turntable is that the capacitance of the cable will act as a low pass filter, and this is exacerbated by the low level of that signal.

If it's running along a shelf where 30 people put down their cell phones, across an air conditioner and through a server rack, you're screwed. But if it's clipped to a ceiling with nothing else around, you are probably good. Posts: Gender: "and the rowers keep on rowing! Used one of those 25' stereo RCAs and needed to extended it another 10' to reach. I was warry, but it worked fine.
Stay tuned. Will these differences have any consequences for an audio signal? I say NO, others will say yes. Not with the lengths you mentioned though. When you need less than 50cm of cable use the short one Last edited: Jun 26, Blumlein 88 Grand Contributor Forum Donor. Joined Feb 23, Messages 12, Likes 19, It won't sound different.
If it were unshielded and if it were poorly made and if it were in a high noise environment one may pick up less noise. The answer would be to get a better made cable. Which need not be expensive. Any differences in frequency response at those lengths would be into the hundreds of thousands of hertz or higher. One exception would be if you were using it to connect a passive volume control or an odd device with very high output impedance.
Then the shorter the better. Blumlein 88 said:. Click to expand Joined May 21, Messages 3, Likes 6, Belden, Mogami, Canare are good cable manufacturers and produce detailed specs.
Some pro shops offer their products. Check out Blue Jeans Cable as well. GrimSurfer Major Contributor. Joined May 25, Messages 1, Likes 1, If the interconnects are short, the potential for this to occur is minimal.
Interconnects arranged like the photo below indicate a lazy approach to audio. Ron Texas Major Contributor. Bigger is always better, LOL.
