Hey,
I have RCA cables for my home audio system, but they are ones I took
from my car stereo. So for the audio L/R going from my tv to the
receiver, the cables are actually red and blue, used on one of my
amps. I notice that there is a little thin wire between the 2 regular
RCA's that runs the length, I think it's call the 'signal' cable? Is
it not good to use these cables and should I purchase proper home
audio RCA ones that do not have that little thin wire between them,
and can that lead to any sound degredation and/or popping perhaps if
it makes contact with anything? Thx! Ron.

no problems, just use them
put a bit if electrical tape over the ends of the signal wire if your
concerned, the signal wire is just that, a piece of wire
