Hi Neall!

NM> Isn't it that the longer the conductor, the higher the resistance?

Well, the resistance of the cable doesn't matter a lot. It is very low anyway. 
A cable of 20 meters might have a resitance of 1 Ohm. And the input resitcance 
of an amplifier is at least some 100 000 Ohms. The loss caused by the 
resistance is not noticeable. What matters is only the low pass formed by the 
inductivity and capacity of the cable and the possible noise introduction due 
to a weak shielding.

Take care
