My experience is similar, I have had and SL1200mkII, changing cables made a huge difference. I contend that most audiophiles would never have and interconnect cable between an amp & pre as cheap as what comes on an SL1200 as a tonearem cable. So, for most audiophiles, typically changing your arm cable will make a bigger difference with that table. If you are using Radio Shack interconnects then it could be a toss up, but there is not doubt cables have made a difference where ever I have made changes, sometime subtle, sometimes not.
Interconnect question
I would like to get a better IC that goes from Preamp to amp, but....
currently have a technics sl-1200 mk/2 turntable and that has the rca connections on it. That gets connected to a ps audio gcph phono pre...and from there to the preamp and amp.
Does it make sense to get a better cable to connect preamp to amp or would it not make a difference due to the rca leads on the turntable ?
