Looking to get new cables to go with new TT i just purchased, I have read that you want short cables from TT to Phono Pre Amp,,,and then from phono preamp to processor can be any length.
What lengths is everyone running?
Do you notice a difference in sound quality from higher priced cables and different lengths?
TT Fluance RT-85
Thanks Guys

TT Fluance RT-85 Thanks Guys No longer than necessary to reach within your installation and that includes preamp to processor (don’t assume those are separates necessarily). My Sunfire has a killer built in phono preamp. It was great when I used it because as most of us know many records are not good recordings and the Sunfire did a great job of “FIXING” that. Cable length to processor is less critical than the latter but still the shorter the better. Don’t go money crazy just good solid build quality.....tonearm least affected by resonance goes farther towards better sound than screwing around with wires. Bill |

Bill Thanks Bill,, My situation has my turntable about 16ft away from processor,,I was hoping it didnt make to much of a difference,,,Gonna be using Emo interconnects from TT to XPS-1 Then monoprice to processor |

I use the no longer sold Emotiva RCA interconnects, the XPS-1 is light so try not to go with too stiff a cable.

TT Fluance RT-85 Thanks Guys Yes, put your best cable between the turntable and phono preamp, I use a 3’ BJC LC-1 there, but I may make my own soon, depending on the cable that’s about where you want to be (3’). If you go too long you’ll start to pickup noise (typically hum), and if the cable capacitance is too high, the high end will roll off. After the phono preamp you have much more flexibility, as it’s essentially line level, still if you want to go another 10 to 20’ pick a quality cable (good shielding, conductor, connectors) and you should be fine. |

I use them for the same purpose and highly recommended them. |

Knukonceptz also makes nice RCA cables, the Krux ones look interesting and it's also much cheaper than the Blue Jeans cables, I use their speaker cable and can honestly recommend it. www.knukonceptz.com/home-theater/rca-cables/Chad |

Thanks guys for the recommendations!!! This lounge is were its at !!!! |

What are all using for ground cable?
Oem. Or naking ur own with larger cable..any noticeable difference?

My U-Turn table doesn't even have a ground ? any other table I have owned had one.

Chad I believe it could be that the phono pre is in the TT I didn't go with the internal phono pre in my table hence why I use the XPS-1, I go RCA to the XPS-1 but there is no ground to connect ?? but it sounds great and works fine so who am I to question it haha. |

Interesting..i always have seen TT that didnt have a internal phono amp have a ground wire. Hmmm guess U Turn is doing something different.I guess as long as no buzz or hum its all good. |

I have the Fluance RT82 that comes with a 3ft 90pF RCA cable. I kept this cable between the TT and the preamp because the included OM 10 cartridge requires more load capacitance than some other MM cartridges, and the documented value helped me estimate the total value.
