RCA Phono Interconnect Under $400

I changed my interconnects to Locking RCA connectors

these, or others

If you cannot find ready made, you could have Pine Tree make you a cable: rca/rca/ground/locking connectors, your desired length.

I bought two of these 3 wire Component Video Cables, got 3 pairs of locking and each pair it’s connector’s a different color.

As others have said, buy a separate, or get a spool of green coated wire and make a separate ground wire with crimped spades.

I own a Zu Xaus that I've been very happy with, and their current Mission Phono is in your price range:

I’ve been using these excellent and reasonably price pure silver interconnects for more than ten years now, and have recommended them to several other very satisfied users:

Review for Stager phono cable:

Just to point out that the video cables almost certainly do not have separate and equal conductors for audio hot and audio ground. In my experience that makes a difference. In cheap 75 ohm video cables, most likely audio ground is carried on the shield which therefore must be connected at both ends.

Don't rule out Signal Cable. Frank makes cables, wire, interconnects,etc : all high end at giant killer prices. Perfect for your short run. I have had him make me xlr, rca interconnects and speaker wire as well as my phono turntable interconnects to my phono preamp. . Check him out.
