Types and reason to use of not

dpop, I did not know that, thanks, I will make a reference to that someday as an OMG!  Well I will likely start with my RCA, then swap to the Coax, and where I can I will use an XLR.  After putting 10 grand + into the 2 new Amps, I guess I am not really in a hurry to up fit cables anyway, I will take your advice and "join the club".

Thanks, Greg

The AES/EBU port on back looks like an XLR, but is a single port, not L & R.

That single AES/EBU digital XLR actually contains L&R stereo audio.

Such a cable did not come with the integrated amp, having that port, I will read the manual to see the advantages of that one cable vs the pair RCA or one coaxial that go to the 2nd. power amp. I am using 2 sets speakers, one set 4 ohm, other 8 ohm.  Did not want to use the intenerated amp down to 2 ohm, even though it is listed in the specs as 550 Watts at 2 ohm.  I will just start using RCA L & R.  I am assuming I will want to use the AES/EBU if I get one.  There are a couple power cords flopping around back there.  I do not have shielded power cords. Are they worth it? I can keep a few inches between all cables as it is, and only cross, not side by side the cables.     

Hold it. You bought a $200 turntable with an internal Phonostage? And $10,000 of amps. Ok, we need to talk.

While you must carefully choose your components. But a general rule of thumb would be: Turntable $5K, Phonostage $5K, preamp $5K, amp $5K, speakers $12K. This kind of thing puts the fidelity of components in approximate synergy and equal footing. If you also have digital: streamer $5K and DAC $5K.

Nonsense.
