Long run balanced interconnects


I am looking at a situation that may require that I do a long run (25 feet) of balanced cable.  Should I expect there to be a degradation on sound quality if the long run was between the phono amp and the preamp versus the preamp and the speakers?  Any other advice regarding long runs of balanced cables?

Best just try and hear what you think. Agree go from preamp to amp. This length and much longer is done all the time in studios and live events. I like Canare. Here’s a link but you’ll need to buy two as it’s for a single on the link. For $70 it’s cheap to try it out. Canare is a very nice cable and you might be more than happy with it. Canare also comes in a variety of colors. Takes a bit of time to break in so give it time and you will be glad you did. It’s maybe a touch on the warm side but a very neutral with no edge or harshness whatsoever. Doesn’t draw attention to itself.
