phono stage placement

Is it better to have the phono stage close to the TT with shorter ic's between the table, or the other way around, or does it matter? I would think the shorter the ic between tt and phono stage would be the better.

On MC it is even more important. I have tried short and long with a ARC PH3SE and can always tell the difference.

Use a low capacitance cable if you can (low inductance of course). You don't need that long a cable anyway. Just place the phono next to the TT.
