Suggestions for good shielded interconnects?

All, I need a pair of RCA interconnects for my phono stage and I would like them to be a shielded design. I was told by some that shielded cable has higher capacitance and some manufacturers decided to do without shielding at all.

Nevertheless, I hope someone can make some suggestions for a good pair of shielded IC. Budget is < $500, and I don't mind buying used.

Thanks for helping

VZ,

I also have a VPI (superscoutmaster/JMW9) and that table also uses RCA end-to-end. So, the VPI cable should work excellently for you as well. If you buy it from Music Direct, they have a good return policy, should you decide it is not right for your setup.

I second the VPI Phono Cable. It worked wonders for me in solving some RF interference.

I have a Superscoutmaster/10.5i and the best I have found is the Anti-Cables. It is shielded, however, if you have a lot of electronic junk around, they will double shield it for you. I ordered the double shield to be positive, and it was dead quiet. I also tried the regular and it was just as quiet. The regular is a fraction more open sounding, but you will not notice it unless you A/B both the cables

Hi Seasoned, do you mind tell me what other cables have you tried before settling on the VPI???

Thanks
