Depends upon circumstances. Often, usually even it will be less than ideal. I knew two people with them. In one case, it allowed routing of the phono to a point behind the TT where we had attached the XPS-1 at the rear support of an open shelf which was much neater. Out of site, and in the way of nothing else. From there output was routed to an ADC with the wires naturally being out of sight the whole way.For me, this is not an option. The in-line scheme is really a "pain in the butt"
The other case it was a bit of a problem. Finally solved by putting velcro on the back of the XPS and on the back of the equipment cabinet. Wires came out the back, thru the XPS and back into the shelf with the line level preamp. You had to think outside the box so to speak. .
