Phono cables

Hi all. Who uses specifically phono cables, as opposed to plain rca interconnects?I’m currently using cheap rcas and a separate ground wire. I get no noise/interference issues at all. I’m going to upgrade to decent cables but can’t decide if it’s worth spending more for phono cables. I understand about resistance etc.

This is for a MC cart.

I used an Audioquest Leopard.  An improvement over the other regular rca cables that I had.  5 to 6 hundred used.  I also used a inexpensive Project phono cable.  It also worked well but not as good as the Leopard.  Now going to set up to the next cost range to see if I gain any improvement.

Jelco 501 series is good. I use it on three tables. Around $150 on Ebay.

Ever try the ol component video cable-the 3 wire we all used for the VHS/ DVD player? 

Another good, cheap phono cable alternative. The shielding makes them quiet and perfect for phono cable.

Cool. I have about a million of these laying around. I'll try. Thanks!
