I love my little magnavox stereo tube amp, but the input jacks are closely spaced together and many of the fancier IC's wont fit well. Added to that is the fact that I currently need a 12 foot cable to accomodate the placement of the preamp in the living room. Is there a cable out there with a small plugs and good sound at that length. Currently I have two cables joined together to make the run, with the amp end terminating in basic plugs. Seems I could do better... Thanks "When the demon is at your door, in the mornin' it won't be there no more" Steely Dan |

So, both the shield and one of the conductors are grounded at the upstream end? |
And this explains why some ICs come with directional arrows printed on the jacket? NT, posted on September 17, 2014 at 18:51:23 | |
