I’m about to lay some cables. I really don’t need a discussion about the audiophile qualities of cables , just want to know about the technical usefulness.
So, I’m reshuffling some stuff so I can add two sub’s and possible some side and rear speakers for surround. For this I’ll be adding a few additional wall outlets next to already existing ones. One at the source where av receiver and DSP are located, and the two at different locations in the room. All those have little room to feed cables through. There is really no way to change this without a major renovation. They end up in the cellar where is can distribute them as is needed. Little room means tiny cables.
Next to this I’d like them to work for both line level audio as well as SPDIF, so I might be ready for future changes. The idea is to use 75 ohm coax. Smallest diameter cables I could find is RG179. Longest cables length needed is probably about 8 to 10 meters.
This way I can still get like 3 or 4 cables through the tubes, which should be enough for starters.
So, what do you guys think? Is this a good solution? Is there a better one? Any tips are welcome
