Title: length of cable from phono pre to pre?
Post by: denti alligator on March 11, 2015, 12:38:59 PM

Moved stuff around in the house, and now the only way I can best use space is to have my Seduction/turntable a bit further from the other amps. So my question is: will a 12' cable between the Seduction and Quickie be a problem?

Keep the capacitance low.  Belden 89259 is 17pF/Ft.  Home Made Cable sells a 12' piece for $12:

You need two.

I'd prefer to go with Blue Jeans. Can't tell which if theirs are low capacitance.

Check out the Blue Jeans website.
I think they have excellent cable that is at least 17 pf/ft or lower.

I looked at my link this morning.  It is a single cut of 12'.  Sorry, it isn't what you want.  But it is great cable at a very reasonable price.
