Best phono DIN/RCA cable

Hi,
Need IC cable from Shelter 90X/SME V to Plinius M14 phono, and IC from phono to 300B integrated amp KR Audio 340. Have Avantgarde Duo speakers. What speakers cables ??? Any recommendations? Audio stores in Croatia does NOT keep high caliber cables, so it is impossible to try them in my system, before buying them. THX.

How much do you want to spend? There is "best" and there is "best for the money."

I'd have to say the best I've tried is the Purist Venestas. By a pretty big margin. Other very good ones are the Hovland Music Groove 2 and the Graham IC50/70. I've had all in my system.

The Purist is in a different league...

I also have a Purist Venustas, and can affirm everything Jfrech said. I just didn't know if you were prepared to spend $1800 (Venustas) or $3000+ (Purist Dominus.)

Another cable (which I haven't heard) that is I understand is comparable to the Hoveland 2 is the Cardas Golden Reference.

I really enjoy the XLO signature phono 3.1 and 3.2 cables.
They're great!
Big smooth transparent open sound without harshness.
Much better imaging than the Cardas Golden Reference in my setup.

Jfrech,

Thanks for the post. What differences do you hear between the Venustas and the Graham IC-70 (I have the IC-70).
