- I would suggest that you are getting hiss from the Amplifier stage of
- your hi-fi. If this is that case you may find that increasing the
- volume of your hi-fi will reduce the hiss. Cable length is not the
- problem. Are you sampling from CD or Cassette, if cassette you will
- also get more hiss. The cable length will not be the problem. Long
- cables pick up mains hum put not hiss.

- I don't know the input spec of the Megalosound but it may not match
- very well with the headphone output on your stereo. Does you stereo
- not have any line out at all (even DIN). if so using this with a
- convertor may be a better bet.
