With the potential cost of good cables, I might first look into what’s going on w/ your turntable & why there’s a problem ? I use that cartridge but not familiar w/ the Technics. My Basis table / Vector arm is likely substantially better than it but it’s pretty close to to my speakers which I play loudly & have no issues. There are many fine, not crazy expensive turntables now w/ good suspensions that might work well. There are also many types of “after market” fixes to put your turntable on that might work too. I’ll guess there’s a thread on this site that addresses this. Just a thought.
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.
