Phono cable advice.

I am not noromance or wolf garcia but yes, your link to the RCA to RCA Jelco is the same cable sold with a phono DIN to RCA or XLR as the Jelco 501 and Jelco 506 respectively.

For what it is worth, the Jelco cables are constructed with Mogami 2534, so if you could find a standard set of Mogami 2534 RCA to RCA interconnects the difference would be in the RCA’s used in each application.

Link below would allow you to do a 3 foot pair for under $40, although I have no idea of the quality of the RCA’s. The Jelco RCA’s may indeed be superior-I don’t know. I ran the Jelco as a fully balanced cable: phono DIN to XLR.

Jelco with the Mogami 2534 microphone cable is pretty cheaply made and uneventful as far as sound is concerned.

@hdm  Thanks. That explains it a lot. I see the Mogami 2534 all over eBay, I'd just have to add a ground.

No. I tried other cables using 2534 for a second arm. It was substantially inferior to the Jelco. I do not know why other than it didn’t sound good.
Tell you what. Buy the Jelco RCA for $88. If you don’t like it, I will buy it from you.

Just make sure you buy from an authorized Jelco dealer, or direct. I know for a fact Chinese are cloning this cable. Anything from a not authorized source is 99.9% guaranteed to be fake.
