phono cable

Hi All,

I have a VPI Scout TT w/Dynavector Karat cart. going into a Rogue Audio Stealth phono stage.

- I have 2 cable options right now to use (tonearm is terminated to RCA)

1) Analysis Plus Crystal Oval -- 1m RCA to RCA
2) Van Den Hul -- the FIRST -- 1m RCA to RCA

Neither of these cables are "phono" cables, Analysis Plus does make a phono cable.

finally the questions:

Should I get a phono cable or will one of these be adequate?

-and-

Are there any legite DIYs for phono cables?

thanks,
Rob

Harry at VPI has been using Joe from Discovery Cable wires in his tonearms for years.

This (Below)is the same as the Vpi Phono Cable, minus the outer jacket (which probably hides the Discovery name on the cable).

This (Below) Cable although has better Rhodium Rca Connections.

Do a search on Discovery within these Threads, & you will find nothing but Praises.

The only thing different between a standard interconnect, & Phono leads have exterior ground leads.

Ask yourself wouldn't it make more sense to continue the cable trail to your preamp with the same Discovey cable in the tonearm???

Good Luck!
