Anti-cables VS. River Cable/cable lengths


Looking for some feedback regarding how these cables compare and any suggestions for other low-cost cables to consider. System: Creek 5350 se classic, Rotel 1072 player, B&W 703's. I have fairly long runs: 15 and 27 feet and am wondering how important it is to use the same length of cable for each run???

Thanks!

I performed several extended cable auditions, and ended up with Audio Art cables all around - very musical and balanced, compared to the Anti-Cables which I found overly spotlit the highs, shortened depth, and ultimately became fatiguing. YMMV, of course, as i find cables are very system dependent. But these have served me well - they have stayed even as my system has progressed. Website is www.audioart.com with which I am NOT affiliated; I just enjoy their cables!
Call Robert at Audio Art, he'll custom make you anything you like, and will discuss your system and specific needs at length.
I evaluated Mapleshade cable products and was not impressed. In comparison to my then reference Cardas Cross and Kimber ICs and speaker cables, their ICs were tipped up at the high end, somewhat glary (sp?) and while they sound good at first listen, they ultimately become fatiguing over time. (Reminded me of the Anti-Cables in that respect). I sent them all back.
Have not heard Clear Day cables. I've settled in with my Audio Arts and got off the cable merry-go-round.
