moving! new equipment arrangement requires one 2 meter speaker cable and one 6 meter cable. I have acquired a pair of AudioQuest Aspen speaker cables 19' each. should I chop one off where I need it and attach the other at 19'??
You could always go to a local hardware store and pick up 8M of wire and cut it into a 2M and 6M lengths and try to hear a difference between your AQ's at equal length. Listen for imaging and soundstage not the differences in tonality.
@geoffkait . I don't think it would damage anything, but knowing that different brands have different sound qualities, why bother? The question the OP posed was whether it wise to use unequal lengths. Where's Almarg when we need him? B
Why bother? Because the shortfall of one brand might be made up by the other brand. E.g., frequency response. And visa versa. It’s the same idea why sometimes two different brands of cables are run in parallel to each speaker.
