I have some nice Razer Mako 2.1 computer speakers.


The system has 2 inputs:

- a set of stereo RCA plugs

- the standard 3.5mm mini computer plug


Just curious if you guys think stereo RCA cables are that much better than miniplug... in a computer 2.1 environement.


I'm also shopping for a new sound card, and some cards like the ASUS Xonar have RCA outputs instead of 3.5mm.

for the limited distances involved, no difference. If you were running a 20' or 30' cable, then higher grade RCA audio cables with full shielding would possibily make a difference.

Good point on shielding. 3.5mm's aren't I'd assume.


BTW: these are THX designed speakers.

actually you can get better grade, or "premium" grade, 3.5mm stereo cables with some shielding. http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2

I finally bought a set of those shielded 3.5 wires from monoprice.

They are quite nice!


And I swear, the sound is a lot better with them.
