Exposure 2010S integrated amplifier Jim Austin's Associated Equipment
Yet another of the best systems I've ever heard at a hi-fi show was an exhibit by some former distributors for the English manufacturer Exposure Electronics, at a Chicago Consumer Electronics Show in the late 1980s. The exhibitors seemed to believe it was better to impress with a humble product than to overwhelm with a full-bore assault, because they limited their display to a single amplifier: the then-new Exposure X (as in "10") integrated, mated to a record player comprising a <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/turntables/1103linn">Linn LP12</A> turntable, <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/tonearms/395">Ekos</A> tonearm, and Troika cartridge, and a pair of Linn Kan loudspeakers.

I was recently in the process of building a second system where I had the need for either:
1) 3 ft interconnects, 17 ft speaker cables 2) 17 ft interconnects, 9 ft speaker cables
When I did the research, I found that there are divided opinions on this subject. I understand that long interconnects are more subject to picking up noise from other sources, but that was not a factor in my case. Amplifier power was also not a factor.
