I was just wondering. How long can you run a phono cable without losing sound quality?
10 meters?
10 meters?

A phono cable is commonly understood in many circles to be an IC with RCA connectors
This question is very relevant for me at the moment as I'm tying to decide whether I will benefit from moving my monoblocks off my rack (directly beneath my Avondale Grad 1 pre-amp) to the floor next to each of my electrostatic speakers (Kingsound King). The speakers have binding posts at floor level so I can use very short speaker cable, eg TQ ultra black links, at a reasonable price. I would need about 3 - 3.5 metres of RCA-RCA interconnect.

This has been complicated by arguments that 20 cm of high end cable such as the TQ ultra black will not be enough for it to show its qualities.

The length of cable seen by the signal from source to speakers is the same either way. It comes down to whether the system will sound best with the majority of this length being interconnect or speaker cable.
