Cables from TT to phono stage to preamp


This year I purchased a REL T/7i subwoofer, then a PrimaLuna Evo 300 preamp, a VPI Prime Signature turntable with a Hana ML low output cartridge, and a Solidsteel S4-3 audio rack. I spent a lot of money.

I currently have VPI tonearm cables going to my Musical Surroundings Phonomena phono stage (original model), and Audioquest Jaguar ICs going to my preamp.

I know my tonearm cables and phono stage are holding me back. I tested the Iridium and Clear Cygnus tonearm cables and like the Cygnus over the Iridium, and the Iridium (easily) over the VPI cables.

I have a Rotel RB-981 amp I bought back in 2004, Cardas Neutral Reference speaker cables, and B&W CM 2 bookshelf speakers on half loaded speaker stands.

I still love the CM 2s, and found that the Clear Cygnus helps roll off the highs a little which is beneficial to the sometimes too bright speakers.

What cables are you folks using between your TT and preamp? How important is it to change the cables from the phono stage at the same time as tonearm cables?
I’d like to get a new phono stage next year, and a dealer I spoke with suggested the Sutherland Insight, but I know there are a lot of phono stages out there and I have a lot of research is ahead of me.

You might want to try the Audio Art IC-3 phono cables or the IC-3 E interconnects, which is what I use on my Acoustic Solid 111 Steel turntable, which is hooked up to a Parasound JC3+ phono stage which goes to a Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP integrated and this pairing really helped with the bass definition while smoothing out the mids and highs.  Interconnects Archives - Audio Art Cable
I am also using the AudioTechnica PTG33/II MC cartridge set at 150 ohms on the JC3+ phono stage.
