Pickup wiring - because of the high source impedance on MM types - is

Hmm, right. Does that include the cable from the preamp to the main amp
too?

No - a well designed pre-amp will have a low output impedance so cable in
likely domestic lengths will have no effect at all.

But a better way is to build in a pre-amp at the turntable with a low
impedance output so interconnect cables have no effect.

I don't think there's an easy way to do that, although I could shorten
the leads from the deck to the preamp (I have a new one coming with no
built in leads), and then run longer leads to the main amp from there.
