Does the length of the Cable matter?

Is it an RCA to RCA cable, or a DIN from tonearm to RCA? easy to find and use long RCA to RCA. A bit harder to get a long DIN to RCA

Lots of people believe keeping phono cables short is important.

I ordered a custom 8 ft DIN/RCA cable for my 3rd arm from Pine Tree. Compared it to it’s OEM short cable, heard zero difference.

I would try your TT temporarily placed to use a short cable, then use an inexpensive long rca cable, hear any difference? Don’t forget some slack to turn equipment to have access to the rear jacks.

Then, buy a higher quality cable? Based on the Tonearm maker’s recommendation, I bought a high end Ortofon phono cable, didn’t hear any improvement than inexpensive cable I was using while awaiting delivery.

btw, if you have no choice, you have no choice!

Thanks guys!

I"m running a mid 80s Denon Reciver to a Technics 1500 turntable which has a built in Preamp.

More opinions would be greatly appreciated.  Need to make a decision.

RCA to RCA

The owner of accusound cable said he thinks you could go up to 100' without a degradation in quality. I find that surprising, but that's what he said.
