Decent 6-8ft phono cable advice needed.


I know this is a loaded question but I’m looking for a decent 6-8ft cable to connect an inexpensive turntable to my HT/family room system. I’ll probably upgrade the turntable later if the family starts digging the whole vinyl thing more. I know I do now but this is our HT/family room setup so I’m easing it in. I’ve had good success with Blue Jeans cables for other applications in the past for value/performance and am wondering if I should go that route? Do I just need standard RCA cables or should I look for more insulation/etc. because of the length I need and proximity of other equipment? If it matters, I’ll be connecting to a Yamaha 1060 AV receiver with a Parasound Halo A23 via Belden 8402 cables, driving my older KEF Reference Model Two mains. I realize shorter is better but I can’t shorten the length I need for this application.

Thanks for any input.

I’ll need 8ft), what type of Signal Cable should I look at in terms of having enough shielding?

You can order RCA to RCA Phono
Or DIN to RCA Phono

All phono cables are shielded, i gave you the link to the Phono (Shielded) cables only: http://signalcable.com/silverresolutionphono.html

You can ask Frank about everything, he used to post on audiogon too, i think the difference is capacitance of the cable if the length is longer. The standard for phono cables is 1 - 1.2 meters, some people use shorter, some people use longer. You are not asking for extremely long cable, but just a bit longer than standard. If you need 6ft it’s about 1.8 m., so i think it is not a problem. If you use MM cartridge you can summarise the capacitance of all the cables from the cartridge pit to phono preamp, then you can look for the recommended capacitance in the documents for your cartridge (MM). But anyway all good phono cables are low capacitance, you can ask the manufacturer. 

If you will search audiogon about Signal Cable Silver Resolution you will find some nice feedbacks. I’m sure it will be hard to find anything better at this price, but you can find worst cables for much higher price for sure.
You're welcome
Repost back when you will install it in your system 


I will follow-up. I’m not sure how much input I can have as I don’t have anything to compare to. I’m still wondering about the Bluejeans LC-1 as a stepping stone? It’s a third of the cost of the SC but again, the SC will leave me room to grow a bit and not have to change there.

Now, I’m off to find a good cost effective base/isolation. :)

Thanks again!
This is way too long of a cable. It will never work properly. I recommend you reposition your system.
