Interconnect Length


If I were to connect a turntable to my integrated, what would be the maximum interconnect length I could use?
Would 20ft be ok?

Another possible option (if your parents will let you) is to mount a TT shelf to the studs of the rear wallor some type of combination of the above ideas.
Dear @chrisr : No more than 2m., it does not matters balanced or unbalanced IC cable. The cartridge very low level and delicated signal as more length it must run in a cable as more degradation suffers.

Balanced cables are all I would ever use for anything over maybe 2 meters or so…and that's a stretch. It seems like balanced phono cables are a great idea as phono cables can use all the help they can get. My old Linn had a crappy tonearm cable that was improved amazingly when I bought a Jelco/Mogami cable…no hum from the cable picking up dimmer crap, and simply cleaner overall sound.
