Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!?

I have a Rega Planar 3 that sits a few feet too far away to reach my Marantz AV7704 phono stage.

whats the best way to reach my Marantz preamp processor with the short 2 foot phono cables that come with the Rega?

It sounds like rca extensions are going to cause too much capacitance and there is also a difference between phono extension cables and rca cables. Please teach me!

Craig, yogi is right. Two choices. Move the turntable or get a phono amp preferably with a balanced output.

How much will I need to spend on a phono preamp yo match the quality of the Marantz?

For instance, I don’t want to buy a phono preamp and have the sound be worse than having a longer phono cable.

Try a Schiit Mani from Amazon. You don’t like, return it. I bet it beats what you have now. Let it warm up for a few days.

And use these cables if you like detail.

Or you could use a rewire kit for the tonearm.
