I assume your amp is not balanced and you will be using RCA ICs. If so you are certainly better off with the longer speaker cable runs. No issue at all for you. Again, gauge matter with these long runs however. What gauge are your current speakers cables? This is the more important question.
Longer speaker cables or interconnects
I have a feeling that this may be a topic that has already been discussed to death, but the only thread I’ve found so far is one at Stereophile.
I will I’ll be moving into my new home with a new semi dedicated semi anechoic listening room, and I am just realizing now that maybe the 25 ft speaker cable runs vs the 3 to 4 ft interconnect runs that I was used to in my old NYC loft for decades is maybe not the optimal ratio.
I presume that that I don’t want a long interconnect between the turntable and the preamp.
I’m looking for various points of views and justifications for them. Remember, one caveat is that I’m the kind of guy who will spend only a moderate amount of dollars for interconnects and speaker cable. Thank you all.
