long speaker cables . they last longer than long rca cables ..
Again with the equipment the OP has it doesn't matter, it's not rocket science.It doesn’t matter, you won’t hear a difference
I’m a Newbie but my guess would be ..
If running True Balanced signal wire ,then go up to 10’-15’ with signal wires..
If running Single Ended signal wire , keep the signal wire short up to 2’-5’..
Max length for Speaker wire ??
Don’t think I would feel comfortable going more than 15’-20’ with Speaker wire..
True balanced as in XLR and or TRS? Heck, I have gone 50ft without problems there.I’m a Newbie but my guess would be ..

It's easy to go up in gauge with speaker wire to compensate for a longer run.
But, you can't go up a gauge or two with RCA cable...or can you? If not, then what can be done with RCA cable to compensate for the longer run, if anything?

That's nice to know.And, with anything remotely resembling decent shield, the odds of picking up noise in home environments is about as close to zero as can be without actually being zero.

Some people worry about worry too much. Don't let a little worry about a little worry worry you. Too much.A lot of people worry too much about what isn't likely to happen. Seems endemic, to a point.

What, me Worry?
Not trying to worry anybody - but I once fed a computer audio jack (low output impedance) through about 24 feet of some well shielded RG6 coax (foil and braid) into a high impedance RC network (to attenuate and "pre-unequalize") which in turn fed an unused PHONO input jack (also high impedance).If you were using tube units of old with high output line level impedance, you would definitely keep the RCA cables very short and run heavy speaker lines.
I have my setup - pre and sources - away from my amp and speakers. I am using a 25 ft Blue Jean interconnect and it is working flawlessly to connect to my amp. I have 5 ft speaker cables.

.a long RCA cable is not preferred! The shorter the better. Long speaker cables are not as bad at 18'
