SACD Interconnects

There will be around 1 nanosecond (1/10^9) of difference in propagation delay between 1m and 1.5m length interconnects, which is probably not audible to anyone. However the human nature is that each time you put on music you are likely be bothered by the thought that the sound might have been compromised by mixing cables of different length, so I would recommend using identical length for the peace of mind. If you are going to keep them, use the different length for surrounds.

C'mon. It will make absolutely no audible difference and, if just knowing the lengths are different bothers you, you need to change your thinking. Are all your speaker cables the same length? Is every internal path length the same? Get over it.

well put Kal

Kal,

Thanks - there are so many myths propagated about cables, lengths, materials etc. that feed the fears of audiophiles - some by reviewers. I am highly impressed with your practical no nonsense approach. Kudos to you for calling a spade a spade. Of course it makes no difference!

Thanks. I do believe that everything makes a difference but it is always a matter of degree or, even, order of magnitude. I have heard differences (with electronic delays) of ~1millisecond between the two channels of a stereo pair but a 1millisecond difference requires a cable length difference of more than 125miles! Who has room for such?!?
