Turntable + phono preamp?

Hi I have a Rotel RP900 turntable which provides the phono outputs. I would like to connect this turntable to an amplifier/receiver which only has line-in inputs, and which is also quite far away (about 14 ft.) from where the turntable will be.

I was looking into purchasing one of the Parasound phono pre-amps and connecting it in between the turntable and the main receiver/amp.

Will this do the job I am thinking of and deliver a good signal over such a distance?

THANKS A LOT!

The output coming out of the turntable will be low, so I would opt for the phono preamp being close to the turntable, with the long cables being between the phono preamp and the receiver.

Yes that's what I had in mind, let's say the ~2-3 ft cables from turntable to preamp and then another 12-13 ft from preamp to the main receiver would this work?

THANKS!

12 feet is not really that long to be truthful. You are pretty safe under 20 feet.
