Turn Table Cable Length

I'm thinking of moving my TT to a new location that would involve cabling of about 20'.  While I appreciate great audio, perfection isn't my hunt.  I know there may be some things I give up and I'm OK with that.  Please share your thoughts on this if you don't mind.

Cheers,

Or you can get a phono stage with USB output like the Pro-Ject AD Box S2 close to the turntable and use a 20' USB cable connect to USB input of your DAC or amplifier digital input if available.

20ft on turntable will give you diffuse sound with crappy detail.Good luck.

Humble genius?
I’m a monkey’s uncle.

You’ll get much better SQ putting a cheap (<$200) phono pre by the TT and 20 ft. of generic phono cable over to your amp(s).
USB or SPDIF would probably sound better at a MUCH greater cost.
