I am going to point you to the following site:
http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-IC-Phono.html
I agree with most of what he says.
A quote from the site follows:
"CAVEAT 1: Never assume a line-level cable will work equally well for the phono signal. My current recommendations should be considered an exception to this rule.
CAVEAT 2: Never assume the same phono cable will work equally well when it is going into a (low-impedance-100 ohm) step-up or the actual (high-impedance-47K Ohm) phono stage. These are very different loads.
The results described below are with the cable going from a step-up (transformer) into a phono stage. A cable going from the turntable into the transformer may have different results."
You can spend hours at this site and save yourself from thousand of $ worth of mistakes
Good luck
