Advise on Long Phono Cable run


Audio dudes

I now have to place my TT avout 5m away from the integrated amp ( Parasound Hint 6)  which has a phonostage

I currently use an MC cart AT33PTG. I might switch to an MM like a Goldring 1042 or AT 540 ML.


Would this be possible? Are there cables that I could use that will not have too much of a negative impact?

MC voltage is so low
MM is sensitive to capacitance.
Would MI be a solution or same issues as MM?

Please advise.

I need to shift the TT as currently, it is too low and as age catches up, it’s easier to stand than go down on my knees to change or flip a record.

Hey Guys,

Yes, get a phonostage !!  My phono cables are 1.5 meter from cartridge pins to inputs on either phonostage. I can play my system a Low, Medium or High volume with satisfiying results !!

This setup, is by personal choice. I do not like the setups that I see on virtual systems. All gear racked up between the speakers. Gear and especially TTs , Out of the room, IMHO. Thus, I need a long pair of ICs to accomplish this.

I was a Spectral owner for 20 years. With a pair of Avalon Opus speakers.   ( 2c3D )  system. Loved it, all these years. 

At Axpona 2016, I decided to totally revamp / upgrade my entire system Just wanted a change in sound and some extra convenient features.

My current system is:

Kuzma Stabi S w/ 12" VTA arm and 1.5 meter cable
