Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!?

I have a Rega Planar 3 that sits a few feet too far away to reach my Marantz AV7704 phono stage.

whats the best way to reach my Marantz preamp processor with the short 2 foot phono cables that come with the Rega?

It sounds like rca extensions are going to cause too much capacitance and there is also a difference between phono extension cables and rca cables. Please teach me!

Geez so many people on here don't have a clue about what they are talking. This is the last place I would go to for advice. Educate yourself and then do some serious research instead of bouncing around the internet forums and taking in advice from there. Most of them are just plain morons.
Wow
Hey thanks
That's so useful to the OP.
Just had a great idea.
Why don't you try and educate all of the morons here Oddio.
I am sure we would be fascinated by your insight.....

My thoughts right now is just go with a pair of extension RCA cables and see what you think.
I'm betting you will be quite happy.
I had a TT sitting in a similar fashion, it's cable was 18" too short to reach.
I made it work even more down and dirty with a pair of RCA adapter and another regular set of RCA cables.
Sounded PDG to my ears.
Of course that was just temporary and I had a longer phono cable made from the TT to reach.
But my point is before you blow a load of dough just try it.

Greg is correct in that the Marantz is going to be the limiting factor no matter how good an independent Phonostage you put between it and your TT.
