[QUOTE="pwatts, post: 875028, member: 146"] Not much left to discuss.. 'regular' analog interconnects will have impedances ranging in the 50-100ohm region, depending on construction. Analog output stages tends to have output impedances from 100-1000ohms. Analog input stages have impedances typically from 10k-100kohm. When there's a pot this impedance will even vary with volume. So, even if one wanted to play impedance-matching with analog cables it's a futile exercise aside from the point that it makes no difference anyway. If you want to use a 75ohm cable for cable and it sounds good, go for it. But there are plenty of other cables that will be far from 75ohms (e.g. Nordost) that will also do the job just fine. To summarize: right tool for the job. For analog there is no right/wrong tool, just several options that will all do the same job with slightly different character. [/QUOTE]
