I suppose the underlying assumption behind spending hundreds of dollars upgrading a phono cable is that you’ve already maximized the incremental returns that can be realized from a cartridge upgrade on your particularly setup? It just seems that all things being equal, $500 spent towards a better cartridge will almost always yield more sonic value that a $500 cable upgrade (or even $150 at the OP's price point).
Phono cable advice.
What are some good phono cable options for around $150ish and under? So far I’m looking at BJ LC-1 and Zu Audio Mission cables. This would be for between my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Esprit and most likely (still looking) a MoFi StudioPhono preamp. I have an extra pair of Kimber Silver Streak cables but they don’t look insulated well enough. I’ll be running DH Labs Air Matrix from my preamp to KEF LS50 Wireless speakers. I’d like something I can grow out a little with as I incrementally upgrade things. Stylus (Blue 2M?) is probably next.
Thanks for any input.
