Phono Interconnect

Couldn't quickly find the RM5SE manual online, but if it has the same RCA output configuration as the 5.1, you can use any good quality RCA interconnect. You don't have to have an integrated ground lead in the IC as any insulated conductor will do (e.g. doorbell wire). I like my Cardas Golden Reference phono IC, but that is a specific configuration, custom length DN to RCA cable required for my installation. Set me back about $475 if I recall correctly.

You can search the forums to get lots of different opinions and I'm sure others will chime in on this thread. Just remember that more money does not automatically mean better performance. Good luck & happy listening!

Do you need a phono cable, or can you use a regular IC?

I will have some Mogami 2549 cables for sale after this weekend. Professionally terminated with either Furutech 126(g) or KLEI Copper Harmony connectors. Contact me directly if you are interested. I use both in my system setup (Rega RP6 turntable with YBA / Audio Refinement solid state gear - see system details) and I like the KLEI between my sources and preamp and like the Furutech between my preamp and amp.

Morrow Audio can supply any type of cable and they are not very expensive and sound fantastic.

Zd542 the phono cable I have at the moment is Monster cable with ground wires at each end. Other than that it is regular single ended IC.
