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

I have a 40ft i/c run from my h/t processor to my monoblocks which are in the front of the room. I've heard that Synergistic Research is one of the best high end i/c for very long runs? Any thoughts or other suggestions? I will be auditioning a pair next week as well as a pair of Vahallas.

thanks,

Jon

Have a similar problem, with approx. 11 meter IC runs to amps driving our living room system. Preamp is Herron VTSP-1, and amps are Rogue Magnum M-120 mono's. Neither provide for balanced connections. Would it help to, say, run the IC's in rigid (steel) conduit to reduce noise pick-up? What electrical devices should I avoid most as I route the IC's? Thanks.

Sorry to be so long in responding; I am out-of-town. I think there must be several considerations. RFI with unshielded ics might recommend steel conduit that is grounded, but I really worry about such proximity of steel. I do not like to have anything other than ceramics (Suspenders) in contact with even my insulated cables. I would most avoid big power transformers.

Jon_p- I'm currently running almost 30 ft IC to my wavac 833 monos (unbalanced) and have no RFI problems. This wasn't the case with a couple of other cables I tried, though. I'm usng the Sonoran Plateau cable and am quite pleased with the results. To say they are a bargain, is sometimes the "kiss of death" in the rarified world of hi-end; but they definitely qualify as such. I'm sure they're available in balanced configuration if you're so inclined to investigate further. Good luck in your search.

If you have not done so, please post on your impressions on the Wavacs.

please Mr. jcbtubes, would you be so kind and answer Tbgs Question. What influenced you to buy these amps? Did some kind sole tell you how wonderful these amps are? Did someone tell you the extraodinary sound that these amps offered? What a great friend you must have that brought these amps to your attention. I am sure you are very greatful. Please, if it is no bother, would you please inform Tbg your impression of these amps. And could you please tell us what finally made you purchase these incredible amps. You must have a friend that you feel you owe more than you could ever imagine. You are such a lucky man. Wish I had a friend like yours.

Now answer Tbg. Do you feel you can handle this?
