Interconnect length


I have a new Rega P1 coming in the mail. To hook it up to my system, I will probably need more interconnect length, so I will use an additional 3m interconnect (a decent one) to connect the P1 to my Rega Fono pre. So my question is: is this total length (3m plus the length of the interconnect that is part of the P1) too long, and will it significantly and negatively impact the sound?

From my searches on this topic, the consensus is that if you really need to have a long interconnect, it is better to have it between the preamp and amplifier.

You're welcome.

You can further read about it here. Various cable manufactures were asked similar questions by Positive Feedback Online.

I agree with that and I have to add that I can confirm that after playing with home-made cables, Nordost and Sterevox Reference cables, the short interconnect between the phono stage and preamplifier makes a much bigger improvement than in any other place in my audio system.
