Candidates for tonearm cable for phantom arm

how do you describe the sound of the venustas phono cable ?
is it laidback like the interconnects ?
thanks!

Hi, I'd seriously suggest the Purist Venastas (used). It's a killer cable and been discussed on several other threads.

Given it's flexible lead, stright or right angle din will work well for your arm...

Good luck

I use a Stealth Hyperphono on my Raven/Phantom and feel it's excellent. If you are patient you should be able to get one at least close to your upper limit. Mine has a right angled DIN.

Cheers.

thanks for the inputs.
my budget is around $1000 tops new or used.

I use the Stealth Hyperphono with my Phantom. Right angle DIN for me with my Sota Cosmos IV. I believe there is one for sale here on the Gon. How much you wanna spend is up to you. If $2000.00 is too rich for your blood, then i suggest the Silver Audio Breeze. Super cable that i used to have with my SME V. Sold it with the cable. Top shelf cable at a very reasonable price.

I can say that the Phantom is worthy of a Stealth.
Cheers.......

thanks! which of the two would be more universal ? safer bet for future arm upgrades ? so one doesnt have to keep on buying them ?

I've used both (on my former SME arm with similar style connector as your Graham). I think given the angle of the connector on the Graham arm, I'd for for a 90 degree. However, some cables like the Purist you can for straight (they have both options) b/c of the flexible lead out cable.

Zenieth's answer is it to be honest.

Silver Audio Silver Breeze - it replaced the Hovland MG2 in my system. Not sure about the need for a right angle DIN with the Raven One. The Silver Breeze is fairly thick and stiff up to the break-out (those last few inches of cable to the DIN). Max Kreifeldt at Silver Audio will customize the breakout to allow for a custom fit.

Depending on your specific application, either or .... it's your call.

does one need a right angle din to rca or just straight din to rca would be fine ?

Not sure what your price range is, but the Graham cable is good and I personally love the Purist Venastas or Purist Proteus Provectus...

2nd the Nordost Tyr.......and Bob Graham himself likes it!
