Oy. I hung my monos (no jokes, guys) under my floor's joists directly under my speakers, mostly to escape heat and WAF objections, thus necessitating 3m and 6m ICs, and allowing 8ft speaker cables. The ICs are UNshielded Red Dawn, but are indeed balanced. There is abosolutely NO noise audible within 6" of the tweeters, even at full gain.
These ICs run only a few feet away from the house panel 300 amp, and its webs of romex. Am I lucky, or is it the combo of a quiet Aleph P pre and the balanced ICs?
No, I didn't (and won't--threading through the baseboards was a pain!) try RCAs....
I don't know if Sean and/or John are right, but I thought
the issues revolve around current levels, and that's why speaker wires should be short...especially with low impedence or highly reactive loads.
Oh well.
