Was suprised to read in Mappleshade catalog same thing that you said was "traditional" thinking that folks should use short IC paths (less distorion) and longer speaker cables.Still have a hard time undertsanding on why a 12ft run of same wire with speakers should be than 6 ft.I just assumed more wire for heat and friction to build up there as with interconnects.Me I am helping a freind set up his Magnepans and I told him that even if we went with a very cheap wire (somebody sugested Blue jeans wire and their stuff is very cheap/inexpensive depending on how you see it) .Want to use it so we can move his 2 gear racks from in between his speakers and big 40" CD storage "spinners" (set a bit back and to sides).I told him that even though one should go balanced/unbalanced/balanced to often (think I read that in /Stereophile's Hartley's book) that going RCA as ins the 30 ft or more of wire would require XLR wires-so we can open up the area around his speakers.But his amp I thought could sit on rack and I thought short run would make sense but you and others say no and I just can't wrap my head around it.I have also been told by some my idea that without some testing software or newer adjustable pre like the DEQX don't assume I'll get benefits from removing stuff but I still think it's worth the try.But again even if we use very cheap wires to do it.But why the length and how long?Are there specs I should ask from Maggie or Bryston which we are trying to buy?
Thanks
