I am by no means an expert in this topic. but did have the same problem in my second system and needed an 8' run. I spoke to folks at BJC and they assured me the LC1 would be fine for this. When it arrived I a/b'd it to my VPI phono cable, placing the TT in a temporary location to allow the shorter run. My phono preamp is built into my integrated amp (Marantz PM-11S3). I could not hear any difference between the 3' VPI cable and the 8' BJC LC1 cable. TT is Music Hall MMF-7.1 with Clearaudio Virtuoso V2 cart.
Decent 6-8ft phono cable advice needed.
I know this is a loaded question but I’m looking for a decent 6-8ft cable to connect an inexpensive turntable to my HT/family room system. I’ll probably upgrade the turntable later if the family starts digging the whole vinyl thing more. I know I do now but this is our HT/family room setup so I’m easing it in. I’ve had good success with Blue Jeans cables for other applications in the past for value/performance and am wondering if I should go that route? Do I just need standard RCA cables or should I look for more insulation/etc. because of the length I need and proximity of other equipment? If it matters, I’ll be connecting to a Yamaha 1060 AV receiver with a Parasound Halo A23 via Belden 8402 cables, driving my older KEF Reference Model Two mains. I realize shorter is better but I can’t shorten the length I need for this application.
Thanks for any input.
