It is best to avoid unequal lengths of wire in your system. I've even heard differences in the sound with uneven lengths of the internal hooked up wire between left and right channels. When I did mods on my integrated amp I replaced the internal wiring with Kimber wire of exact lengths for both channels and the difference in imaging was not subtle at all. It may not be noticable in every system, but uneven lengths should be avoide if at all possible
Asymmetric Interconnect/Speaker Cable?
Bought Aleph 2 pair. Hardware on right side of room. Will run 2.5m equal interconnects with 2.5m + 7.5m unequel speaker cables, or vice versa. I know conventional wisdom suggests keeping the spkr lines short, but NORDOST insists that their cables work fine both longer AND unequal, and that I should keep the interconnects shorter and higher quality! They suggest 2.5m Red Dawn IC with 2.5 + 7.5m Blue Heaven SpkrCable. I'm lost...plus I hear cheaper Flatline is just as good. I'm powering Verity Audio Encores (89dB, 4.5-9.5 ohms). Thanks!
