Longer speaker cables or phono cables?

I need to rearrange a bit in order to get my turntable further away from my speakers, thereby eliminating some foul sonic feedback. I would prefer not to move my rack of other components and/or change my speakers to the short wall, but will, if I must. The way I see it, I can either get a different (longer) set phono cables and move the TT or get longer speaker cables and make that adjustment. which is preferable in anyone's experience?

Even if you use low-capacitance interconnects, the longer speaker cable is still preferred. I did an extensive study of this. The results are independent of actual failure criteria, but I needed to choose an arbitrary one. The simulation results are posted at the Audio FAQ page at:
