In Reply to: Re: Making a 3.5 to RCA, cable; when to split? posted by Duster on July 21, 2006 at 13:54:38:
Thanks Duster! Though I know how to make the cable, I was trying to determine the best theoretical method of laying out the segments for sound quality. I think I'll stick with leaving the single line the longest and break to the Y at the closest point to the preamp. Thanks!

Sorry, I must not understand your design goal. If you would explain what you mean by the single line being the longest, I would appreciate a clarification so I can better understand what you mean (I would greatly appreciate it). Thanks in advance :-)
My apologies for the convoluted explanation. THe single feed which gets split into the two RCAs is the "single" line I am referring to, of which I assumed should be the majority of the cable, not the split portion. I'm splitting hairs here though (no pun intended) because the only difference is really just one additional ground wire, and the possible crosstalk that may be caused by running left and right channels together the whole length of the cable.I figured what the heck, ask anyway, even though it's only a few months or so before I implement a different solution.
Now I understand. It's best not to use a multi-channel cable for a stereo audio signal, since as you mentioned, crosstalk is not a good thing (and I concur).
