what is the pratical limit to how far you can run audio output from a
sound card over RCA jacked wires?

Use a wire table and an assumed speaker impedance (say 4 ohms). When the
length of the wire causes an impedance equal to the speaker ... then you
have only half of the audio voltage at the speaker and that's -6 dB. -6 dB
is very noticeable, by the way. -1 dB is just noticeable.


Sound card output is fed, in this case, into the AUX jacks in the back of a DYNACO tube pre-amp.
