Short lengths are key
Does Everyone Use 2 Phono Cables with SUT
I just learned a rather expensive lesson from my audio dealer. I always thought I only needed a phono cable from my turntable to my SUT. By adding another phono cable (not interconnect) from the SUT to the phono preamp, I got a nice improvement in “efficiency.” Everything just flows better.
I guess everyone uses 2 phono cables?

Rather than confuse with labels, as has been noted above the sut to phono preamp cable should be excellent and low capacitance. Doesn't mean expensive per se. The lowest capacitance cables will be unshielded. Your phono pre might be better with shielding and this might raise capacitance slightly. It's a balancing act.
As an aside the lowest capacitance pro cables tend to be coax designed for instrument.

@lewm It isn't obvious to me how the spiral ground wire actually shields. It seems too loose to do much... |
