Phono cable, are they really different?

Oops - I hit send on the previous post accidentally before finishing it. What I was going to add is that the Phono signal is different in that it is a very low voltage compared to CD or other front end signals. So it is much more susceptible to RF interference, and simple loss through cable resistance, and distortion through any cable anomaly.

The Outlaw PCA cables' construction with full double shielding and OCC copper (minimal crystalline structure) are therefore excellent for phono use. (I do have a VPI table, too.)

I originally purchased VPI's phono cable with the purchase of my Scout TT. Detail was good, but there was this nagging hum in the background that I could never pinpoint. I found later that I was picking up 60 cycle house current because the cable was not properly shielded.
The solutions:
+ Purchased 2 pair of interconnects from the-music-cable.com(Has full copper shielding with locking RCA's)Stiff enough to hold out in front of you.Go see...
+ Grounded TT, phono pre-amp and tonearm base in the usual fashion to a copper rod driven 6 ft in the ground outside.
Now there is a dead quiet background providing a very musical top to bottom sound.

I have a VPI Scoutmaster going into a Supratek Chenin and I use Discovery Essence. So far I've been very happy with the results. The difference between that and a pair of Homegrown Silver Lace ICs I was using before was subtle but noticeable.
