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?
(Amp is plinius tautoro/SA103, speakers confidence C1 Dynaudio, tautoro is the line stage only version).

Db,

Are you soldering your own terminations or will you be buying a finished product?

If you are buying the bulk cable, Redco sells the 2549 at 0.80$/ft and the 2534 at 1.12$/ft.

2549 has lower capacitance but not by much and the 2534 is better for noise cancellation.

Nick,

I'm ordering a pair of 30" Mogami 2534 cables with ProFi RCA connectors from LA Pro Audio. They appear to be pretty nice and the cost is very reasonable. I'm using Mogami 2549 interconnects throughout the setup.

Let me know how it turns, maybe I will need to tryout the 2534 too.
