Long Master/Companion link cable or long speaker cables?

[Peter van der Laarse]

Hi all,
 
I was wondering which of the following cable solutions would provide the best sound quality (for a given amount of money invested in cables):

1. Two long speaker cables (in my case: 4 meter each) and a short M/C link cable, or
   
2. Two very short speaker cables but an 8 meter long M/C link cable
   

 
I currently have the first – standard I guess - solution (long speaker cables), but my wife would prefer the latter since a link cable is more “anomymous” – right now one of my Frey cables is crossing a door opening making it very visible!
 
My current system is:

• Derivalet 400 (soon to be upgraded to 440 pro), connected with the standard link cable
  
• Nordost Frey cable (4 meters each side)
  
• Wilson Audio Sasha 2
  

 
Any thoughts?

Thoughts and I think you don't want to hear:

Sell the Nord Ost cable and:
1. buy costum made Van den Hull 110ohms connection between master and Companion 8 m
2. buy SHIELDED loudspeaker cables from Kemp elektronics. They sell only one type of loudspeaker cable and it is amazing for the money
3. The Devialet must be earthed at a right way (< 0,1 ohms). Living in city environment?: a balanced isolator source builds up the power completly new and takes away all the rubish
4. Use WBT nextgen series plugs the best you can afford

Don't want to get red of the Nord Ost? Try aluminium foly or you can buy shielding at a "soldering shop". So shield the loudspeaker cable AND make the connection as short as possible.

5. Go out to diner with your wife because she will be surpised how cheap everything was.......
