Best Type of Interconnect for Turntable?
Hi, I am planning to add a top-end turntable to my system, paired with my Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated with the optional phono card installed, and I'm wondering what type of interconnect I will need. I have ALL of my devices going through one Torus RM-20 isolation transformer, which, if it matters, has a ground terminal (my Diablo amp also has a ground terminal). I plan to power the turntable with the Torus as well. Given I plan to have the turntable directly next to my amp, I'm guessing the simplest interconnect would be a 0.75m RCA.
I see that many brands (Audioquest, etc) offer phono-specific interconnects, and interconnects with ground cables etc.
Given my setup, what type of interconnect should I be after for my turntable - a phono-specific RCA cord, an RCA that has a third ground wire, or just a plain old dual channel RCA?
What you pick for a phono cable (for the best sound), should be determined by the type of cartridge chosen (MC/MM/MI) and that cart's specific loading requirements*. To many variables for any specific advice, until you narrow the field way down. *Further info, under Cartridge Loading, in this article: https://sumikophonocartridges.com/what-is-a-phono-cartridge/
