VPI Scout 1.1 distance from phono-pre


I just received a VPI Scout 1.1 and want to locate it further from the rest of the system. Does anyone have experience with longer runs 5-10ft ? I assume the scout has some kind of amplifier on the tonearm. I know that keeping it close to the phono-preamp and then do the run from there would be the best move, but what if I wanted to run 5ft of cables between the pre and the scout ? Thanks in advance. What kind of cables is another discussion I haven't bought anything fancy yet but am open to recommendations. Thanks !

I agree with John that you should keep the length as short as possible. With that said, I am currently running two of my tables with a 1.5M and a 2M (DIN to RCA) tonearm cable with excellent results.

I have almost always had at least a 1.5M or 2M tonearm cable somewhere on my system. Never a problem.
