Setup Speakers Along Long Wall?

Just moved into new house and was gifted by my wife a 121/2’x23’ room with 7’-101/2’ sloping ceilings. I’ve been putting together a system, which so far consists of Technics 1200G/Hana ML, Sutherland 20/20 LPS, Audioquest interconnect/speaker cables, i7Roon Core NUC, iFi Zen Streamer and Shunata power cables and conditioner.

Unfortunately, every turntable position other than against the wall 7’ in front of speakers results in horrible cartridge bass/room interaction. Against the wall either requires 15’ speaker cables, or a balanced phono preamp and 12’ balanced interconnects.

So, here is my two part question. Better long interconnects, or speaker cables?

Second question. What downside is there to placing my listening position against the long wall? Currently, 7’ from short wall.

Once you've solved the pesky low-frequency rumble, you won't have to worry about how to position your equipment. This is a great way to completely solve the problem. You can use the Energy-Pump power cable with your power amplifier. It removes low frequency rumble on many systems.

In a large proportion of audio systems, the low frequency rumble is produced by the uncontrolled mechanical inertial vibration of the speakers because the power amplifier does not have sufficient control. An Energy-Pump power cord can solve this problem. Why not try it out? If it doesn't remove your troubles, you won't have any cost.
