Analog cables for TT


This may sound like a dumb question but, does a turntable require analog cables or can I use the same ICs that I would use for a CD player. If not, then what would I be missing . I am currently using some ICs that I had running from my CD to preamp.

Basically, turntable IC's carrying the phono cartridge stereo output to phono input jacks on your preamp are a pair of analog IC's. This is the same as the pair of analog IC's which run from your CD player's stereo output to CD input jacks on your preamp.
Yes yes, normal InterConnects (IC) but given the ultra low signal (0.23 mV), there should be some kinda special thing..
I would imagine that shielding is very important due to the faint signal going through, I dont think big copper conductors would be the best bet, probably very slim silver wire would be the best, I have seen people using from "medical" bare silver wire to garden hoses...
Anyone with good experience that can share?
The main difference is that because the signal is very much lower than the output of the CD player shielding is much more important. Unshielded interconnects can be used to very good effect with care on CD player outputs, but a turntable interconnect must be well shielded.
