gyne,
Phono cables only see a minute signal in normal use so never open up unless they are seasoned with a higher signal. I had one of those Duo-Tech things years ago. I can't remember if it was any good or not.
If you want to do it right, pay a cable manufacturer with a Audiokarma Cable Cooker to cook your phono ICs for a few days and then follow it up with playing them from a CD player or tuner set on static continuously for a week or so. If you are not willing to send them off, use your Duo-Tech and then do the CD player/tuner thing for a week.
It will still take a while playing LPs even after that for them to fully settle.
