So what is your opinion on this? The first 20m cable is from Conrad, the
other 20m cable from a PC store, each around 20 Euro. Are those cables
so bad or are there some influences from other cables? The first 20m
cable starts at the PC next to my hifi system and goes around 15m next
to loudspeaker cables (for my 2 surround boxes :-)). If it was the last
point, I would not have any problems if I turned the volume down,
wouldn´t I?
