I have an (unfortunate) 3 meter distance to cover between my phono preamp and my preamp to cover. Looking for suggestions (under $600) for best cable options.

Thank you!

Purchase 20 feet of VH Audio V-Quad Cu24 analog interconnect cable...

Then choose one of the XLR sets that suits your musical tastes and price range... I would go with the Neotech XLR sets...
Neotech NEX-OCC GD XLR $225.00 or Neotech NEX-OCC RH XLR $262.50...

Very nice DIY weekend project...

Also need a ground wire...

"Analog interconnects terminated with XLR style connectors, when used with an externally-spiraled ground wire of at least 21 AWG"...

Balanced interconnects make perfect sense for this, but unfortunately, my Herron Audio phono stage only has RCA connectors.

RadioWonder is not far off the mark. A 3 meter length cable from your phono preamp to your preamplifier would be well-served by either VH Audio's V-Twist or V-Quad cables. Perhaps a KLE rca connector option for an affordable performance-level or a set of WBT NextGens. You might consider the V-Quad to place between your turntable and phono preamp, as well.

I appreciate the feedback. After looking at some of the options, I decided to stay on my local dealer's good side and get some value-added service helping with fine tuning after set up. I am going to go with Nordost White Lightning 3 m RCA. It's shielded, flexible and white (blends into the decor). If it doesn't sound right, I'll know where to look next!

Best wishes!
