There are really low level signals coming out of the cartridge and I believe extension cables would result in a lot of signal loss. Others may have actual experience trying this but i believe it would not be a good thing. Put it close to your preamp. I doubt if the ground wire is likely to be a problem unless it somehow acts as an antennae.
Old Newbie has questions on turntables.
I have not used a turntable since I was 20. Im now 45 . I have a credit at a local hi end shop which I am going to use for a turntable. They stock two models. One is a Thorens TD190 List price 559.95, the other a NAD 533 list price 499.95. The dealer , whom I have no reason to distrust swears the NAD is a better turntable...Any thoughts on that..............
Number 2 is I can either place the turntable convienently 12 feet away from my preamp, however of course I would have to use extension cables , {and extra grounding wire ? } or I can build a shelf much closer to my preamp. The question on this one is that running an extended grounding wire would pass through my interconnects that I use for my redbook Cd, DVD. etc. and I dont want any sort of electrical interference compromising my other components. Any thoughts on this. ? Thanks guys.
