@larseand - Take a look at Zavfino cables, they entry level cables are reasonably priced and are very well made.

Phono Cable and interconnect compatibility...?
I am nearing the end of my analog upgrade, now I need to connect the pieces. RCA to RCA.
First, I need a phono cable to connect my new VPI Prime to a Manley Chinook phono pre. (VPI Shlyla cart)
Next, connect the Prime to an Aesthetix, Mimas integrated amp.
Should I use the same cables?
I might consider a short-term, affordable option and then upgrade when I have the means. The table and the Chinook hit the bank pretty hard.

@larseand The high quality of your components can definitely benefit from better cables. Borrowing from friends, dealers, and manufacturers when available is the lowest cost method. Buying and selling used would also save you $. Keep in mind it’s easier to resell mainstream brands/models. The Cable Company lending library for a fee may be a good option - make sure you know their restrictions Iconoclast Cables has white papers that describe how they designed their cables- gives one a basic background on audio cabling design and cost Copper is generally consider warmer than silver Silver is generally considered cleaner, quicker, but may be bright depending on the audio chain. A budget would be helpful, but it’s probably best for you to incrementally/conservatively move up the cable line/expense as you gain experience on what you like. |
