connect turntable to phonostage with 1m long IC cable regardless weather you're using balanced or unbalanced arm wires. that's how all of the sound pickups designed to synergise with the cartridge inductive load and best pickup performance. per-meter active resistance of tonearm wire does a trick of increasing detail performance of cartridge. length of phono to preamp cable is less of importance, but shorter ones may give more benefits depending on your rest of equipment. tru differentially balanced stages pretty much don't care of the output wire length at all.
Long cables from turntable or phono stage
Hi I have a question that involves a compromise. I have a turntable that (for various reasons) has to be positioned a little distance from the hifi, about 4m of cable. Would it be better to connect the turntable (transcriptors hydraulic reference, ADC XLM ii) to the phono stage (moon 110LP) then run long singled ended cable to the amplifier or should I run long extension cable from the turntable to the phono stage and use a short interconnect from the phono stage to the amplifier? For visual reasons the latter is better. Any thoughts?
