Interconnect cables for turntable
Last nights listening session was interrupted when one speaker went silent! The culprit was the wire had loosened from the RCA connector on that side of the table to phono preamp - not the first time this has happened. I have a mish-mash of interconnects - Cord, Monster, Blue Jeans, now I'm thinking I should replace the interconnects between the turntable and phono preamp, and also between the phone pre and the preamp.
My system: VPI Classic 3, Zesto Andros 1.2, ARC LS27
I'm not interested in spending multiple thousands of dollars, maybe a few hundred to a thousand or so. Anti Cables seem to be reasonably priced. What other brands should I consider?

fundsgon, I have a VPI Classic 3 Sig. SE. Here is my cable history with this tt so far: Blue Jeans (not revealing enough) VPI (introduced hum in my system, returned it for refund) Grover Huffman phono (about a 5 year old cable, sounded decent) Morrow Audio PH-6 ( too forward or bright with this tt) Bob's Devices mid level cable (sounded VERY good) Anti Cable 6.2 cryo'd ( beat the Bob's by a hair) I'm currently using these. In my system, the Bob's is the better value. From my memory, BJC, Bob's, A-C are the lowest in capacitance. |
This guy did a nice job for me. I asked for 24g conductor (thinner wire is better for tiny phono signals I’m told and it lowered the cost) DIN plug, custom length, etc. He did it all. Nice improvement on an Alexandria with a Denon DL-301. They don’t look anything like the picture. Turnaround time is a few weeks, for me just under 2. http://www.ebay.com/itm/3FT-SILVER-PLATED-PHONO-RCA-INTERCONNECT-AUDIO-CABLE-WITH-GROUND-MADE-IN-USA... I’ve also read articles extolling the virtues of DIY cables made with CAT5. I may try that; but not on a turntable. |
