I couldn't remember why I bought the Redmere (amplified) cables in the
first place; only longish run is in the Living Room and that's fine; up 
here in the Computer Room from the test/working-on area to the Computer
Desk is a little longer and that probably was OK, or at least is now.  
Maybe bought an amplifed cable to prevent a problem but created one.  
Possibly I had patech together a couple of short cables I had on hand, 
decided to do it right and read long cable can create signal issues so 
decided on the amplifed cable.  Oh well.

A very accurate statement!
