30 ft rca run too long for a phono to preamp?

Hi, Marakanetz, no I do not have balanced components,

Tvad, I have moved some furniture around (in my head ) and have another option. If one chair magically disappears, I can wall mount the turntable placing it approx. 45" from each speaker. With a 30ft run now out of the question, I am left with this new wall mount option, and I obviously don't want to sell it, but maybe another turntable would be less susceptible to feedback? Is a Thorens td-147.
One last possibility, although I can't do it immediately, the side wall is a possibility, but will cost more and involve a new wall mounted tv, but if 45" is still too close, It may be my last option.

Thanks again for all your thoughts.

Almarg,
Thanks for correcting me. Even between phono stage and preamp, long cable is also not a good idea IMHO. I believe long cable (if done right) is fine between pre and power amp.

Another thought is to replace the Vandersteen with some small monitor speakers and a subwoofer that can be placed away from the turntable. If you love the Vandersteen, then this won't work of course. Just a thought.

Alright Gentlemen, lots to think about, the ceiling mount is a possibilty, but it would still be about 45" from each speaker. I will look into the Galibier sandbox, and Audiolui, you may be onto something as I blew the bottoms out of my Vandersteens sunday afternoon.

Thanks, I will post back with my solution.

maybe, just maybe what I did in terms of a wall mount (not grown on my own tree) could work for you too. Have a look at my system.
The tt is jolly close to the speakers going easy to 35Hz and I get no feedback to my pick-up what ever, I promise.

The idea with this is to have a sturdy mount, but VERY little in the way of low frequency 'getting a grip' so to speak on the support.

The idea came for some VERY high-end tt mounted in a system on display some time ago with Image HiFi (high-end German mag.)

The wall needs to be of course VERY solid, as it is in my case e.g. brick and mortar.

Please let me know what you think.
