Longer Speaker Cable or Longer run to amp?

It depends on what 'long' means. The signal going to the speaker is much larger/stronger than the signal on interconnects. So, the speaker signal will have less loss over longer speaker cables than the loss over longer interconnect cables.
Good to see you post. -
A fully balanced tube preamp new is likely to cost at least several thousand dollars. But there are also tube preamps costing more than $10K that don't have XLR connections at all because they don't need them.
Rogue, Sonic Frontiers (old), PrimaLuna come to mind as offering balanced connections on higher models. Sonic Frontiers products have a habit of breaking and needing to be rebuilt after 20 years or so. Rogue seems to be a solid choice these days for new product.
Rogue audio RH-5 (approx.$2,500, I think). Will include some b1t*hin’ headphone amp capabilities and remote to boot.
Looking at one myself as alternative to more expensive RP-5, which doesn’t have balanced connections, btw! -

Lol, I do now.
I guess that’s what can happen when dead posts are resurrected.
Admittedly, I don’t always look at the dates from the prior poster.
I’ll leave mine so everyone can have a good laugh. 😎
