I agree @millercarbon. Perhaps consider using MCC (metal case cable) if you have the opportunity to run a new (dedicated) circuit for your front end. I always do but I’m an anal audiophile lol. Though a bit more expensive…the metal casing (if properly grounded) will help reject/shield the wire from the RFI/EMI that looms around any space with electronic components and/or walls loaded with romex. Think of it as the metal box most of your stereo gear is built in…once grounded it’s called a “shielded ground” Perhaps called a “faraday shield” or “faraday cage” lol Most audiophiles like to see the tubes on top of the case (exposed) and so do I, but they can also pick up RFI/EMI. It’s why most vintage gear didn’t expose the tubes… not just because there were no transistors at the time (and the tubes where fragile). Ill never forget after my first 300b SET build, only the tubes where exposed on top. I was sitting there on the second night, proudly listening (pretty loud) when my cell phone rang through the loudspeakers! Lololololol Admittedly it never happened since then though. All my other tube gear is shielded (no exposed tubes) except for the Supratek pre…
