Phono cable, are they really different?

Going to VPI from SME, will need some RCA to connect from junction box to phono stage.

Was thinking of using a spare pair of Audience AU24 I have since used phono cable are not common and usually pricey. Are phono cables really constructed differently and if so what's the difference? Will I be better off building myself a pair instead of using a regular RCA cable?

What do all of you VPI owners use? Anyone compared both and heard any difference?

I would assume that VPI wants people to use their cable which is made by Discovery Cable (I think).

Just like Dell selling their monitors, but not wanting you to know that they are just Sony monitors with the Dell name.

That would be my guess.

I use Discovery Essence for my phono cable. I am happy with the sound. I've heard Discovery is used for wire on the VPI?. Anyway, I like it - haven't compared to the better phono cable though..
