Cable recommendation from phono to integrated amp (~40ft)


Hi, 

New to this hobby, first post, and need a little help. I'm building a listening room/home theater and ideally I'd like to place my turntable/phone on the opposite wall of my other equipment. Because of this I will need to run a low capacitance RCA from the phono to integrated amp which will be roughly a 40ft run. The room is 14x18 and I'd like to run the cables in the walls while I have them open. Can anyone recommend a quality, semi modestly priced, cable for this length? I do anticipate changing/upgrading/acquiring more gear as I continue with this journey, but for now this is my set up. 

TT - Fluence RT 85

Phono - Schitt Mani 2

Integrated Amp - Emotiva TA2

Speakers - GR Research NX Studio & Kef R3 (just got a crazy open box deal from BestBuy, $310 for the pair!)

Subs - 2x REL HT/1003 MKII

Thanks and appreciate any help!

The phono to preamp connection is probably the most sensitive to cable changes of the connections.

 

Cable choices tend to become much more pronounced with the higher resolution of the system (think cost for simplicity), and cables tend to make a bigger difference the greater the quality (think cost for simplicity).

Given that, it is quite possible you will not hear a difference. However, there is a strategy that I think might work. I would go to the Cardas Cable companies web site. Learn all about their cables (this is one of the few companies I would recommend even reading their colored glossies). Then go to The Cable Company and look for a used budget Cardas interconnect, there are other sources as well, like Audiogon. Typically they go for half price. This will get you a high quality cable hopefully in your price range that will make a difference.

Cardas design cables to complement the equipment you are likely to own in that cost category. I believe this is the only company to do this. I recommend this approach much more than going to inexpensive cables by companies like Blue Jeans, Belkin, etc… I have tried several and they are generally no better than what comes with a component.

 

I have been building my system for fifty years. I have gone through long periods of experimenting with different interconnects at various times as my system (s) have gotten better. You can see my current systems under my user ID.

Hey there i can see your post 

 

  1. AudioQuest Evergreen: This cable offers solid construction and good performance for the price. It has a well-insulated design to minimize signal loss over longer distances.

  2. Mediabridge ULTRA Series Subwoofer Cable: Although primarily marketed as a subwoofer cable, it can work well for a turntable to amplifier connection. It has solid copper conductors and durable connectors, offering good signal transfer and shielding.

  3. Monoprice 2747: Monoprice is known for offering affordable yet reliable cables. The 2747 series is TellHappyStar Survey a high-quality RCA cable that provides good audio transmission and comes in longer lengths.

Thanks and regards
