ED sorry for not thanking you..
That write up was very very usefull
Took a bit to take it in, but now I fully understand..Well at least I think I do..I need to put everything into practice now
Thanks for passing on your knowledge :)
You're a pro

A few questions though..Why do unballanced cables create a better sound for short distances? I only need about 3 meters for each monitor..should I get unbalanced ones ?
Should I still get unbalanced ones if I get a soundcard with balanced connections ?

Is "input trim" what I should be looking at ? if so, it says +9 db to -6db...no -10 db ?? Does that mean if I run my sblive output
(-10) into my monitor input ("input trim" set at lowest of -6) I wont be running at a high enough level ?
time to get a compatible soundcard..

Is this turning into one of those "touchy feely" bbs'?

Nope, those cost $$$ ;)

I just thought it odd that spin got thanked for posting a link, when Ed goes above and beyond the call, typing out a quite lengthy (and quite good) explanation. So I pointed it out, and Jonny corrected the oversight.

That's all...

I thought Ed would, and seeing as he's much more knowledgeable than I am, I was waiting.....

But I'll try...

I'm gonna defer to the experts on this one, but if your soundcard has unbalanced outputs and you're not going any longer than 3 meters, good unbalanced cable will be fine. Get the best cable you can afford.

No. That's the inputs, not the outputs.

Hope I've fielded these correctly...

How good are "concert quality" cables when it comes to home applications ?
 
OK

I couldn't find an adapter with a male TRS TT pulg to 2 female TS (mono) 1/4" plugs

But, what I did find is a male TRS TT plug to 2 female TRS (Stero)1/4" plugs

I pluged everything togeter and the sound comes out of both speakers..Is there anything I wont be able to hear ? Whats wrong with the setup I have here ?
