VPI phono cables. Is there better synergy?


I currently have a VPI Scout with VPI's own phono cables connected to my pre. As most manufacturers will tell you, their line of cables work best with their brand of electronics.

I was thinking of trying something from Crystal Cable to see if there is an improvement. The rest of my cables are currently Audience AU-24. I have aftermarket power cords feeding all components.

Has anyone experienced any specific cables which easily outperform the VPI ones? Are the VPI phono cables really the best choice for the money?

Your constructive thoughts are appreciated.

I suspect that finding a cable that likes your cartridge, or better yet is likely to work well with a variety of cartridges, is closer to the mark than buying a cable based on which table you have. For what it is worth I like cardas neutral reference also, but ain't sure that it is not all in my head.
Bshappard - why not complete your loom with the Audience phono cables?  They are very neutral, fast, and should work well with the rest of your signal cables.  Just my 2 cents...

I used the VPI cables on my TNT 3 with JMW 10 arm for three years, then switched to Cardas Golden Cross.......Nite and Day improvement, and gave me what I want!

Warm midrange, clear extended high frequencies, tuneful bass, and big soundstage!
