long interconnects - earthly price?

Ben's advice to go for Belden is easy via Blue Jeans Cable Company. Here is a link:

15 foot stereo pair of Belden, factory terminated with Canare RCA and warranted is only $39.75. If you try them and it turns out not to be your favorite, it's worth keeping as backup for that price.

For much less, I would use Apollo-A by Silent Audio.

Hi, Albert:

Just a note to say that I'm the "other" Campbell -- Ben is a fellow "clansman" who lives in Scotland, whereas I live in Seattle.

Best regards,

I knew that and posted Ben's name anyway. Guess it's the McCain side of my family that made me do it.

No offense taken, Albert. I should also have commented in my post that it might make sense for Jj2468 to get balanced IC's. While a 16-foot run is not terribly long, balanced IC's offer the potential advantage of lower noise, particularly if they are used in a system with high levels of RFI or EMI.
