If I remember correctly, a few years back I read somewhere or was told by a dealer that once you go over 30 feet with RCA's interconnects then you should go with balanced IC's. I'm guessing you'll be using a decent pair of RCA IC's so as long as your under 30 feet you should be OK. I could be wrong, but this is what I remember. Uriah If you really want a professional answer, make a call to one or a few of the big Interconnect companies like Audioquest, Cardas, or Kimble and see what they think.
How Long Cables From Turntable to Preamp?
I want to add a turntable into my audio system. My equipment rack is maxed-out and cannot include the addition of a turntable. In addition, the second rack for the TT can't even be next to the existing one because it's in a walkway area. So, I have to place a separate stand for the turntable about 6' to 8' away from the preamp. Even further would work better still, but..... I'm concerned about line loss or other problems with long cable length.
What is the longest possible length of cables that would be allowable from the turntable to the preamp?
