Personally, I prefer to keep my analog sources (turntables and reel to reel) in the same domain throughout the entire gain stage and avoid analog to digital to analog conversion or digital signal processing.
If cable runs are required for the job, I use them without any restraints because I prefer to use balanced connections which allows me to route cables and send the audio signal on long distances.
For the turntable position, there is only one option - behind the speakers or in line with them, to prevent the cartridge to pick up the sound produced by the speakers.
