	My system has a run of some 30 feet of cable from preamp to amp.
If you use a high-quality coaxial cable specifically designed for low
capacitance per unit length, you should have no real problems.

	A good high-end stereo store can probably provide you with
the cable.  It ain't cheap; let me warn you.  But it's worth it.
