As I stated earlier, I bought a 886 and I am retiring my 990. I have run into an issue with the balanced connections to my 7500 amp. In my current configuration I am right at the very limits of the cable lengths that I have. So I have two options, either I buy the .5m cable extensions that outlaw has or I buy new cables at the correct length and sell the old ones. Any opinions? Anybody think there will be any SQ loss using the extension?

If I go with new cables, has anyone here used the Blue Jeans Cable balanced cables? They are quite affordable. In fact I can get a set of 5 8'XLR cables for about 1/2 the Outlaw price for the 2.5M cables. Of course the extensions would be the cheapest route, but I am concerned about adding another connection in the signal path.

Thank You in advance for your input.
