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

I'd just try both that you have. Listen to them for several hours (or week or two) before you make a decision. Cables can settle down and smooth out (for the better usually) after some music flows through them.

Then I'd try something purpose made, and check on the difference. The discovery offer above is a good choice.

I've had 3 different phono cables, all made a difference. I did prefer one over the other 2.

Let your ears make the call!
