Turntable Interconnects?

I want to upgrade my interconnects and ground wire from my Project RPM3 (Hanna SL MC cartridge) to the Project Tube DS preamp (goldenlion tubes) and to my receiver/preamp. Currently using Blue Jean interconnects. Not sure if turntable interconnects are a different category than digital sources, so need help on what to choose. no more than $500 each would be a nice limit. Thanks.

OK... couldnt wait and ordered the Marrow:  PH6 Reference Phono Cable & MA4 Reference Interconnects. Talked to the owner of the company and this is what was recommended with my budget.  They have to be broken in for at least 400 hrs so Ill keep you posted. He said to hook them up to a CD player and let it play until theyre ready.

I am in the same boat you are but tell me this topic of looking into a new cable.  Why did you move from ~40pF cable to ~600pF cable? My current cable is ~60pF and made of OFC, I was able to swing Kimber Kable just before Christmas (benifits of work trip to SLC) looking at the manufacturing of their cables. Questioned the copper vs silver.

please share your knowledge and results of the change.
