Hi and thanks for the info, guys. For the record, this is a copper RG-59. I really have superb performance but the anal audiophile in me wonders just how much a long run might be subtracting. Probably nothing worth fussing about, but why would I be posting here if I wasn't a fussbudget!
Please excuse me may I ask you some more details about your Ics?
1) what brand/model RG59 have you used?
2) what brand/model RCA plugs ?
3) have you compared it to any commercial product ?
Thank you very much and kind regards,beppe
Hi, The Cables and connects are Tibutaries brand.A2UL Silver Series
• Coaxial Design with Silver-Plated OFC Stranded Signal Conductor
• Double Layered Braided Shielding
• Foam Polyethylene Dielectric
• Blue PVC Jacket w/ UL® CL2 Ratingwww.tributariescable.com
My system was in flux when I made comparisons. At one point I had 26' Purist Audio Proteous Rev. A interconnects and 26' Nordost Flatline speaker wire. When I replaced the Purist interconnects with the Tributaries I noticed a very slight rise in noise floor.
I later replaced the Nordosts with 1.5 meter Purist Proteous speaker cables. The noise disappeared and the bass and midrange got bigger. High frequencies seemed about the same (excellent) through the transition on my Meadowlark Hot Rod Herons.
