How much space between cables is enough?

Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp owner's advice.
The Herron is truly outstanding, and Keith Herron provides unparalleled customer service. I use the stock tubes that he very carefully tests and matches. Congrats! +1Before the Herron, I had a Parasound JC3jr into a Herron VSTP-3A(r02) pre amp.... 
Herron vs PS Audio BHK vs Rogue Preamps
I have a Herron and BHK.  For vinyl, my Herron phono pre and Herron pre amp combination sounds much better than the Herron phono pre and BHK combination.  For streaming, the BHK and DirectSteam DAC via XLR cable combination sounds much better than... 
MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror/ pick one for me please
Again, my opinion, it is far more musical than either of the above DAC's.It has both detail, superb sound stage and imaging.The tonality is also splendid. I owned the Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE DAC.  It sounded wonderful.  I only sold it beca...

I’m convinced that long RCA interconnects could work. The SQ I get with XLR with the BHK/DSD is much better than RCA, so I intended to stick with it.I have to downsize though.  I have a vintage McIntosh system that I haven’t used in over a year in...

Wonderful it is!

After futzing with loading plugs, the 1K plug gives me a sound that I’m quite happy with.  I had planned to sell the 3A, but for now I’ll keep it.  I’ll try the HT input after the East coast storms go away.

I had a long talk with Keith. He suggested I run the 3A into a BHK RCA input (I thought of that, but I didn’t want to deal with two remotes).  He also suggested, if I was OK with the sound, to then run the 3A into the BHK HT input, so I wouldn’t h...

@tomic601  Thanks for the suggestion.  Under other circumstances, I'd give it due consideration.  I'm in the midst of home remodeling, which includes removing a wall to expand the depth of my listening room and moving my stereo equipment from betw...

Honestly, I don't for sure.  My runs will be about 15' each.  Everything that I've read suggests XLR cables are best for runs like that.

@three_easy_payments  You are.  With a more direct title and question, I was hoping to get a definitive answer.I'm OK buying a different phono pre as a last resort, but I'd like to find out if I'm doing something wrong or if there's any way to get... 
PS Audio BHK versus Herron VTSP-3A(ro2)
I do have an spl, but I am not looking for scientific proof.  In this case, my ears tell me there's a big difference in the sound with the BHK.  There's also a difference with the Herron, but it's not as much and it is in reverse.  My concern is t...
