Turntable interconnect

I do not know much about analog I am currently using an interconnect without a ground. There is no hum. Should I spend the money and get a regular phono cable with a ground. Have a VPI Classic and Nova Phonomena phonostage. Any advice greatly appreciated.

All interconnects should have a shield. There may be some manufacturers that make a somewhat homemade variety that doesn't but I wouldn't use unshielded IC's.

Sields tend to close in the sound... I use unshielded balanced cable...dead silent.
