Depends on the inductance and resistance of the cable, especially if your cartridge is a low output moving coil. The lower the value of each, the better.
My phono cable is 5.8 feet and there is no difference in sound between that and 3.93 feet (1.2 meter). My cable is very low resistance and inductance and there are likely several cables with similar specifications.
