The PHONO CABLE must be a very well shielded cable for very low signal, particulary with LOMC cartridge. It is not just about the collectors (DIN to RCA, or RCA to RCA for some tonearms). It’s all about the quality and shielding for 0.2mV (or even 0.05mV) singal from MC cartridges. If the cable is not designed to use with phono signal then you can catch a radio sirnal in your area or some noice. That’s it!
Little bit less critical for MM cartridges, but anyway ... To use with MM you should know the capacitance of the cable for optimal performance.
Also there must be a separate ground cable in a calssic aplication.
