Phono cable advice.

I’m going to send my other Audience interconnects in too for the uprade. It’s cheap. $300 and you get a completely new cable. Upgrades are great when reasonably priced!

Another plug for the audio sensibility impact se.  Just added one to my vpi scout/dl110 combination and the increase in detail and smoothness is stunning.  That said, I was using a wireworld Luna 7 which is not really intended as a phono cable, so would expect a big improvement.  Though the wireworld Luna is one heck of a cable for the price.

Just picked up a Lounge Audio LCR MKIII w/silver upgrade. I’m looking forward to trying the cables. I already have the burned in AS Impact SE and the DH Labs. Just waiting on the Jelco and Zu Audio Mission V1.

Thanks again to all for the great advice on some options to try.

GroverHuffman.com made silver very low capacitance phono cables 20 years ago for $75.  Mr Record, Robert Pincus (IMPEX, swears by them).  No, they are not the end all SOTA cables but they have a mid-range sound that is excellent, good bass and treble extension, open and detail sounding.  Contact him for a pair under $150 (although he would try to persuade someone to purchase this superior phono-cables).   I bought his cables 20 years ago and was satisfied with them then and consider them a bargain for how good they sound today (I've got the Pharoahs now at $750-see his site for the Empress description at half that price). 

By knowing the capacitance per foot, you can incorporate the total number of pF’s into your calculation of the capacitance load on the cartridge.

I do not have to go crazy to do any calculation; I always just search the phono cable with the lowest capacity per meter;  to all this we think the Xono and Pioneer C21 to offer me the necessary settings available to compensate for the lack of pF.
