Nov 2, 2003 8:54 AM | | I was planning on buying a fantasticly expensive interconnect. Auction closes in a day or so. But figured that if I cut my present interconnect in "half" and reterminate is I might get "double" quality from the remainder of the cable. Or is this simply not the way it works with interconnects? The assumption is that a short $200 cable (1 feet) might sound as good as a long $700 cable (3 feet)... Right??? |

Nov 2, 2003 1:06 PM | | Well, you'd probably be suprised that a $50 interconnect sounds as good as a 200, 700, or whatever dollar interconnect.....
Eh, lets make that a $20 interconnect. No,no, wait, $10....
Shoot, why not go for $5.00.....
And cutting a 3 footer in half doesn't make it sound any better, unless you screw up the modification, or it is too short to reach when you're done.

Don't buy that expensive cable, waste of $$$ |

Nov 3, 2003 12:34 PM | | There isn't $100 worth of anything in those cables, so their price is really arbitrary. They are priced that way because people are willing to pay for it, not because of sonic quality improving with price.
A shorter cable is better than a longer one in terms of signal quality, but at that short distance it doesn't matter. |
