Shorter or longer ICs?

Does anyone remember the Walker table review,where HP had to run a 3 meter IC from the table to the phono.No bass.Anyone heard the Walker? I don't think it has that defiency.My vote goes for shortest IC and longer speaker cables.Most amps generate suffient current and voltage.

what is the total distance you need to run them?

Long ICs - 2V and 30 mA of current goes thru them.
Short speaker cables, much more current thru them, therefore the losses are bigger if runned long.
That's one of the reasons for having monos in the first place.

A related factor for which I would like to see some responses - does anyone wonder if moving tube amplifiers close to the speakers to utilize short speaker cables will have the negative effect of exposing the amps to excessive vibration from the speakers?
I currently have my amps in another room and run 30 ft. cables to the speakers.
Any input would be enlightening.

Cheers.

TFK,
In normal listening levels, no problems occur.Or should i say, none of us (me and few friends) never noticed any problem with it.If there is such problem measurable, it is beyond me.
Me & my friend run only 40 cm of Nordost Valhalla from 300B SET monos to speakers.
If you exeprience such problem, please let me know.
I guess you can also fix it with proper isolation cones under both, the speaker and monos.
