Do I need a Phono Cable?


With my new turn table, I am re-using spare cables i have at the house.  Currently I am using a pair of 2m AQ King Cobras, and a have of a zip cord for my ground.  Will i really see a difference swapping to something like the Furutech cable or some other phono specific built cable?

I have not seen any issues to day, and I can't imagine a ground will impact sound, but wanted to ask.

A low capacitance per meter cable is the best, as well as good shielding. Phono cables are a specific cable and intended for that purpose. They are constructed differently than a regular interconnect. It would not hurt to swap in an affordable phono specific cable. The music hall, as mentioned, is  a good choice. I personally use Atlas Element phono cables. Also, Rothwell the river low capacitance cables work well.
