Can anyone recommend a good balanced phono cable


I am new to vinyl. I have a Merril Scilia MS2 turntable,B&W 800 series speakers, Classe ca-400 Amp, Bat Vk 51 se pre ,and Bat vkp10 phono stage.

Bat tells me that the phono stage should be used with the balance inputs and balanced outputs for optimum performance. I don't see to many balanced phono cables around. Doe anyone have any advice?

The balanced Jelco (Mogami) cable is probably too cheap to really garner much respect but it is, IMO, a very good phono cable.

Cryo it and have it burned in on something like the Audiodharma cable cooker and I would expect it to give some seriously priced balanced phono cables a pretty good run for their money. If you don't like it, you can sell it and perhaps lose $50-$75.

Quite a bit better in my setup than a phono cable constructed using 4 x 24 shielded Cardas wire.
