What's wrong with 6-7 ft tonearm wires?

I've bought a 2nd turntable which can only be placed 7 ft from my Preamp with inbuilt phonostage.
Would the capacitance be too great in phono cables this long?
I don't want to buy a separate phono stage for the new turntable as it would be hard to compete with the inbuilt one in the Halcro DM10.

Thanks for all the responses.
I initially plan on using MM/MI cartridges but this may change in the future and I certainly would want to hear a few LOMC just for comparison purposes.

Almarg, could you please list some phono cables with those very low capacitance values?

Paladin, I agree with you about the DM10 and would prefer cables with XLR terminations but my understanding is that the cartridge signals are 'balanced' by nature and RCA or XLR do not change this?
