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.

jagjag,

I believe it would behoove you to consider a simple audio rack to "pull" your system together.  Placing your TT on the uppermost shelf and your integrated or phono stage on the next shelf etc.
If a four shelf unit would work well for you I would recommend: The Plateau SE-A4 (~ $250).  If you require 5 shelves then consider: Salamander Archetype 5.0 (~ $300).
It may be a great opportunity to jump for that Parasound Pre-amp with Phono Stage built in.  It will decrease your interconnects and simplify your system.  No need for balanced cables either.

Best & cheers
