@TiredLegs (or anyone else who knows): I have a question re the cat5 to
connect baluns. At present the two rooms I am thinking of connecting
have RJ-45 wall jacks that lead to the same ethernet switch in the
basement. Would I be okay if I just disconnected the two relevant
cables from the switch,

The cable would need to be 10-15 meters long. Would using a phono cable
be a bad idea? If so, what would be a
For those lengths, I would use digital audio. Can you send digital audio
from one room to the other? (digital out source and DAC required)

Pat, I take your point on the relative costs, but do you have any
specific recommendations for balun devices? I'm thinking about using my
existing cat5e wiring to get line-level audio to the other side of the
house. A Google search turned up devices by ETS and Intelix

By the way, if you use Cat5 for baluns, you must use dedicated cable, as
they cannot share a cable with any Ethernet or active networking devices
(routers, bridges, switches, etc.) When I pulled Cat5 cable into the
kitchen, I intentionally added an extra line for this
you should be Ok with that, provided the cable isn't complete garbage to
start with :)

If it is a bedroom system, is fidelity that important? I know it isn't

Sound quality is important, is a fair good system (see sig).
What about those wireless things, like a wireless phono cable - any one
use one of those or have a link to more info? I dont mind spending a bit
of cash, but not a lot.

I don't think a 10-15 meter long cable would be a problem, if it's not
too thin (would give too much resistance) and not made so it has
unnecessary capacitance (usually because of bad design or bad use of
materials).

Personally I'm not one for expensive audio cables, but 10-15 m is not
at all inconsiderable. My
