you can use any old cable for aes/ebu - that's what it was invented for :-) 1.5m is generally considered the min for digital cables - but I don't think it makes much difference to be honest. You should probably try out all the connection options if you have the cables. AES is usually the worst option (but not always). -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
