Dear L,
My first question was about feasibility of using long balanced cables to connect my arm to the phono pre. My intention was to separe the TT from the rest of the equipment, as it is the most prominent, disruptive piece within my music rack and was clearly interfering with the back wave of my electrostats. I was asuming that my phono pre had XLR inputs. Through the postings I realized that what it actually has is a XLR output but only RCA inputs (ooops!).
Your suggestion about positioning the rack right between the plane of the speakers worked so well that I considere I have solved my problem.
I cannot separate phono pre and integrated amp without using the conversion box because the amp does not have XLR inputs to match the phono pre XLR output.
I could still move the TT and phono pre away from the rest of the equipment using the conversion box mentioned in latest posting, but I'll skip it as I'm happy with what I have now.
Hope this clarifies.
