Tonyptony, Depending your budget, the new Harmonic Tech Cyberlight cables (in non-balanced RCA type) have absolutely zero loss over very long runs. This is due to thier fiber optic technology. No need to use balanced cables for long runs anymore. Although the 1 meter run is expensive, the 5 to 8 meter cables start to become cost competitive with the other long state of the art cables out there. Go to Harmonic's website and read the reviews. I think the concept makes sense, should change the future of cables, and ordered some last week.
