This may be a silly question, but have you tried using the cables you already have (cheetas) in your phono app. to see what they sound like? Other cables you own?
While there are a lot of dedicated phono cables you could get, and the requirements for a phono cable and a line level cable are different, a lot of line level cables fit the requirements for a phono cable. Sometimes what a manufacturer offers for a phono cable is the same as what they offer in a line level, or sometimes only slightly different. Also, what you require for a phono cable is dependant on your phono setup. In most cases using a mc cartridge where capacitance is not a facter the same as with a mm cartridge, a high quality line level interconnect will fit the requirements better than a cheap phono cable.
If you are just getting into vinyl again, it may be wise to use a cable you already have, provided it sounds good. If you are already prepared to buy a cable for your phono, you will want to audition them anyway. You should use your ears to decide if an ic works for your phono app. anyway.
