30 ft rca run too long for a phono to preamp?


Hi, I am having vibration/feedback issues with my current turntable location and would like to move it to the other end of the room. Is a 30ft connection from the phono (vp-130) to the preamp ( slp-98 ) too long?

Thanks,
Mike

For a few hundred bucks you can have an electrician install some more dedicated outlets on the side wall farthest from your speakers. Then with an understanding wife and some rearrangement of furniture, you can move all your front end stuff, most of all including the turntable, to the far end of the room. You are better off with long runs between your preamp and amp than with long speaker wires, so IMO leave the amps nearby the speakers. Perhaps for some reason this solution is not possible, but it does suggest itself. I am not sure what is the "it" that the other guys and you are talking about selling. By all means don't give up vinyl because of this problem. You would be far better off with true balanced components in this situation, but it will be ok.
