Decent 6-8ft phono cable advice needed.


I know this is a loaded question but I’m looking for a decent 6-8ft cable to connect an inexpensive turntable to my HT/family room system. I’ll probably upgrade the turntable later if the family starts digging the whole vinyl thing more. I know I do now but this is our HT/family room setup so I’m easing it in. I’ve had good success with Blue Jeans cables for other applications in the past for value/performance and am wondering if I should go that route? Do I just need standard RCA cables or should I look for more insulation/etc. because of the length I need and proximity of other equipment? If it matters, I’ll be connecting to a Yamaha 1060 AV receiver with a Parasound Halo A23 via Belden 8402 cables, driving my older KEF Reference Model Two mains. I realize shorter is better but I can’t shorten the length I need for this application.

Thanks for any input.

If you wanted you could always add a phono preamp at the table location and have the 8' run be at line level.
Thanks everyone. The separate preamp at the turntable location could be a possibility as I grow into better quality. So that will be fine at that length with quality cable at line level? After adjusting placement a bit and measuring again, the most I would need is max 5ft, maybe 4.
I can second the DH Labs recommendation, very reasonably priced as well for the quality.
And I do not see 4, 5 or even 6ft as being a huge issue, but the shorter you can make it the less likely you are not to have any signal issues.
Thanks,

I have DH Labs T-14 running to my KEFs (center and bi-wired mains) and Silver Sonic to my HSU sub. Good stuff, I agree.

I also have an extra 5ft pair of Belden 8402 cabes w/nickel-gold Switchcraft connectors. Is that a good route?
