24 feet DIN to XLR phono cable for Graham Phantom?


Would the conexion be considered 'balanced'? I need a 24 feet run. And finallly, any of you have experience with a similar cable?

Thanks

Atmasphere, you got it right. Main reason for this is to move the turntable away from my electrostatic speakers. I guess I will minimize vibration and also will remove the bulk of a very big turntable, acrilic case included, from between the speakers, therefore improving sound image.

My phono pre accepts XLR inputs. I do not have a pre-power combo, instead I've got a lovely integrated that cannot be splited into two :-).

My cartridge is an Ortofon A90 and the phono pre is an allnic H3000. I don't know what you mean by "if the preamp accepts the phono signal differentially". Could you please extend a little bit.

Thanks to all for your answers.
I have an Allnic H3000 and it does not have xlr inputs. It has xlr outputs. Did you have xlr inputs added as an option?

I see no reason why you could not just put the Allnic by the TT and run xlr from it to your intergrated amp.
FWIW, Planar speakers have virtually nil radiation to the left and right of the panel, in a plane with the panel. So, you can probably get away with mounting your tt and preamp near the speaker, if you can place them in the plane of the speaker panel. (Hope this is clear to you; if not, I can try again.)

Allnic H3000 is an interesting beast. I do not know for sure that it treats the cartridge output in true balanced differential mode (presence of RCA inputs does not rule this out). As you or someone else said, it does have XLR outputs and the literature does speak of balanced output circuitry, but could be done via an output transformer. I own an Atma-sphere MP1, but I must say I would not consider trying to use 24 ft of phono cable, even if Ralph does bless it.
Very bad 2 mtrs should be max.This is a very low level signal 21Ft is very bad nobody runs 21Ft on Phono.
Jbuenech, if the XLR input is done via a StepUp Transformer, then you will get the benefit of a proper balanced input as the Common Mode Refection Ratio at the input should be quite respectable, this so long as the SUT is tied to pin 2 and 3, and ignores ground.
