Money for nothin'.
30 foot long Balanced Cables to Balanced/RCA Adapters into Amp's Stereo RCA inputs?
I put this under 'cables', and am repeating it here because I always get good help here.
...........................................
I just bought Blu-Ray player: Oppo BDP-105, arrives in a few days.
Primarily for it's 2 channel audio quality.
It just occurred to me, I could use all of it's audio, video, future streaming features if I:
1. Locate it in the small Home Theater system
2. HDMI to AVR of Home Theater, and
3. Balanced Outputs (audio only): 30 feet to the 2 channel amp in main music system (far end of the same room), use balanced/rca adapters at the amps rca in jacks.
then I could always access/see the menu for audio setup, and use all of it's capabilities

I've never used Balanced Cables.
Advice? Concerns? Avoid doing this!!!
I could buy 50 ft cable for more slack both ends: any reason to keep it to 30 ft?
thanks for any help,
Elliott

Elliot, if you do not feel like spending a lot of money on this just run 30 foot single ended Low loss coaxial cable. Like Canare L-4.5CHWS. Someone will have to terminate it and may have to modify RCAs because this cable is rather thick. The inner conductor is 18 gauge which is huge for a single ended cable. I believe you can buy the cable by the foot. If you can not terminate them yourself I would be happy to do it for you. I do not charge for this kind of work. It might take me 20 minutes. |
I have a 105. Just use the RCAs outs of the OPPO to the RCA ins of the amp. Don't use extra adaptors. Waste of money. If you pick up RF and or have ground loop problems with the 30 ft RCA cables, purchase a Jensen Transformer ISOMAX input transformer. Mount it as close to your amp as possible using short interconnects. Link: https://www.jensen-transformers.com/product/ci-2rr/ |
