Is there a maximum length for tonearm wiring?

In other words, the wiring that leaves my rega rb700 tonearm and plugs into my pre-amp is about 1 meter long. I would like to move the turntable further away from the pre-amp which would require wiring about 2 meters long. Is this less than ideal to increase the length of the wires to 2 meters? Would I lose part of the signal by increasing the wire length? Thanks for the help. George.

Raul- The problem is that the rack I currently use is only 22" by 18" deep and I don't think that is big enough for most high end TT's like Galibier or Verdier. Maybe a Raven One would fit but I'm not sure so I'm thinking of putting the TT on an adjacent wooden cabinet but this would involve increasing the length of the interconnect to about 2 meters. Currently I use a Nottingham Spacedeck and it fits perfectly since it is very compact. I was just curious if increasing the interconnect to two meters would have any negative audible consequences. What is your opinion? George.
