 making audio patch cable
Hi,
I'd like to run the tape output from one receiver to another's Aux. or tape input. They are about 100' apart. Should I use Twisted pair? Coax? What cable would you suggest for this use?
Thanks,
Robbie

Dear Robbie,

As the connectors are most likely RCA type jacks, a coaxial cable or a shielded pair is best suited. Use a heavy guage cable (min 22 AWG) to limit the loss due to the extreme length.

Sincerely,
Joseph Golan, RCDD
