In Reply to: " better EMI/RFI rejection " is it really an issue for speaker cables ? posted by beppe61 on February 11, 2015 at 07:14:38:
You're right.
It's probably only a concern in very rare cases, e.g. long cable runs in a high EMI environment, long cables coiled up to form an induction loop, etc. I have only heard it once, with ~25m of cable to PA speakers emitting a faint buzz with the amp off.
I think that connections between a pre-amp and power-amp are the most susceptible to noise pickup because the signal levels are lowest and any noise is amplified typically 25-30 dB.
