Thanks for your advice, Fons!  In my case, this is all

consumer-grade equipment, and all the connections are line level

using unbalanced shielded RCA connectors and cables.  In that

situation, how much difference would the cable length make?  Enough

to warrant rearranging my entire living room?

That looks like a useful program!  I gather I would use it to see

how much noise and hum my ADC is receiving when there's no audio signal.
