RCA interconnects, can I expect 3.5 meter to offer good performance?

I have been  wanting to move my amplifier and that would require longer I/C cables, 3.5 meters to be exact. I am currently using a Classe CT-2300 power amp and Classe CT-SSP preamp-processor, all 2 channel sources use analogue bypass and are passed to the power amp via 2.5 meter Ainticables in XLR .

Why wouldn't I just buy 3.5 meter XLR cables? Well I have been considering buying a Don Sachs SP-14  tube preamp for my 2 channel music listening and that has RCA outs. My Classe power amp uses metal inserts to short XLR pins 1 and 3 together allowing use of RCA interconnects.Could I expect this longer RCA i/c run to sound good? It is possible to maintain a 2.5 meter RCA i/c, but I would really like to move my amplifer.

Any thoughts on this are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your response, I will contact Paul at Clearday and pick his brain.

gshepardbuster,
The fact that you are using 3.5 meters (phono stage to preamp) is reassuring, could you share what brand RCA cable you are using?

I did post a version of the question to Don Sachs, he was very careful with his response. Not surprising.
