Title: pjccs cable length
Post by: wilson667 on October 19, 2012, 03:40:29 AM

At some point I read in the forum that the length of rca cable that could be used with Quickie(Quickie to amp) was affected with the pjccs upgrade. Anyone remember what  lengths of cable can be used if you upgrade with the pjccs are.

This will vary depending on the cable capacitance, do you have a particular cable in mind?

I have the audoquest sidewinder 6'. I have no idea of the the capacitance. I can't find any specs.

Well, to be safe, I'd just assume that the cable has at least 30pF per foot, so at 1.5M, you will be 3db down at 30kHz (approximately).
