In Reply to: RE: Any problem with distancing the power amp from the preamp? posted by bystander on June 30, 2009 at 15:19:19
Actually not a problem but a possible advantage. I made this switch recently. I had a long talk with a tech rep at AudioQuest, and he said if your speakers are a ways away from the amp, it is positive. The eason is interconnects are low voltage, so length is not an issue. But if you can locate your power amps close to the speakers, shorting the cable by a significant % is a big plus as speaker wire is much higher voltate and much more effected by distance. The key thing is the % change. Shorting 50% is appreciable, 10% probably not worth it.
The amp will be close to the speakers (actually right between) so the speaker wire will less than five feet in each direction. The preamp (along with cd & turntable) will be over on a shelf, about 15' away from the amp.
Hope I get the same results you got!
...and heard no difference when my interconnect went from 3' to 15'.I used to have this wonderful set-up where my records, turntable and preamp were right next to my listening position. Once seated for a session, I never had to get up ...it was wonderful. Everything I needed was within arms reach.
reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
