what is the difference in performance between 75 ohm stranded core interconnect cable ( also known as video cable ) versus balanced line cable ( the one with 2 separate wires and a ground ) ? bryston recommends 75 ohm "canare" cable to connect all of their components yet most wire companies make balanced interconnects for audio. what's the difference? cheers, george

canare lv-61s 75 ohm cable. they are terminated with neutrik profi rca's. a 1m pair retails for $100US. i can purchase this cable in bulk for 70 cents a foot per stereo pair and terminate it myself. bryston states that this cable shows no measurable signal loss at lengths up to 1000 feet. my friend has listened extensively to this wire and swears it sounds almost has good as the cardas neutral reference. cheers, george

The difference between balanced and unbalanced signal pairs is that balanced lines are "push-pull" and unbalanced lines have a ground that the signal is referenced to. All other things being equal, a balanced pair is less sensitive to noise.The best things for noise reduction are: Being shielded Using balanced pairs, and Being low impedance Will you be in Lima?

my room is already booked. trying to get my buddy to fly us down in his cessna 172. the 6 hr drive is a drag. should be able to get there in under 2 hrs by plane. if i understand you, 75 ohm stranded core coax is the way to go. i'll be changing some cables soon. i also read you have to be careful when terminating this wire as some rca plugs are not 75 ohm compatible.cheers, george ps. karlsons are being used as lamp stands now.
