Phono Cable

I'd be interested in hearing what peoples experience with phono cables is and what you would consider sonically the best regardless of price.

Has anyone actually compared these two (or with any others like the Nordost)?

Less than the Hovland, and the grounding scheme is so much better. I reduced the noise floor dramatically and increased dynamics and soundstaging quite a bit at the same time. Mine is an older model, which I think has been discontinued, but the new ones have the same grounding scheme. I think grounding is really significant with the low level signals coming off a moving coil.
