I'm wondering if there is any limit to how long an earphone extension cable=
 can be. I want to be about 30m away from my recorder as I monitor the reco=
rding. Is it as simple as buying/making a 30m earphone extension cable? Or =
is that too long? I'm using a Fostex FR-2le. My earphones don't take much p=
ower - they say "Impedance: 27 Ohms nominal". Also can I just use cheap lig=
ht-weight cable? I think the headphone amp in the FR-2le is not so good any=
way so I doubt I need anything "audiophile" but I would not want to make th=
e sound much worse.

Thanks
Justin
