I always see people/companies hyping the latest and greatest in interconnect techology.

However many decks have pig tails on the back which feed the signal to the RCAs. If these tails are of lower quality, which I have to beleive is true, then the RCA cables used; what would be the point in using a top of the line RCA? The weak link would be the cheesy quality of the pigtail.

Can any one shed light on this? Maybe due to the length of the tail it doesn't matter?

Ive wondered the same thing.

 

Weird I wondered the same thing as well, but didn't want to get in a big debate about it since I'm not too much of an sq guy, but some people might be able to shed some light?

 

not sure how to take that....

so your saying interconnects aren't all that important??

yes it does blue looks nicer than red and has a wide open airy sound

 

true........

 

It's mainly to do with lenght. From your headunit to your trunk you can pick up noise and interference without propper shielding. Also high end interconnects are specially wound to optimize varying magnetic fields as they travel through the cable. Over a distance you can loose out on tonal balance, dynamic range, and pick up noise.
