RG6 is perfect for s/pdif, and I would have no reservations about using it for analog audio either.
In fact, cheap RG6 is likely to ourperform very expensive "digital interconnects", because RG6 is made to carry GHz signals from satellite dishes and such. In my house I have a squeezebox in the living room and my receiver in the garage (about a 50' run). The two are connected by RG59 coax (I would have used RG6 but I had a spool of RG59 already) which is terminated in the wall at a "decora" plate which has a modular plug for a BNC pass-through. Then I use a 6' BNC cable with a BNC->RCA adaptor on the other end to connect to the squeezebox. This is admittedly a geeked-out install - any well-shielded cables carrying the analog signals to an amplifier would work fine. There are much bigger sources of noise to worry about, eg in the amp itself, than on a reasonably shielded analog cable run. BTW do NOT use RG58 for s/pdif - it is the wrong impendance. It's OK for analog though. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24753 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
