Turntable placement Advise.

I recently added a turntable to my system. I'd like to placed it on top of my center channel speaker right below the flat screen TV. Other than that I would have to place it about 18' away and I think maybe that is too far for a phono/component cable.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks.

Okay so let see if I have this right.
Hook up the TT to the phono pre-amp box using short cables. Then the pre-amp to the audio/processor which by the way it's an Amthem AVM 50 using the long interconnects.

And yes the center speaker will be off when I play the record player.

Thanks

Think again about putting a turntable on a speaker, working or not. It will act as a vibrating platform feeding noise back into what needs to be as stable a platform as possible reducing quality of output. Also what is the speaker sitting on? You need something rigid and level.
