Any problems with using a regular component interconnect (Cardas Hexlink) between the RCA output block on my VPI Turntable to the phono preamp? I have a good seperate ground cable.
Some claim dedicated phono interconnects are better as they are generally smaller guage, somehow better preserve the integrity of the very low level cartridge output signal. I've never compared the two directly, just use regular IC.
I've not noticed any difference in shielding between same exact models of IC's vs. phono cables. IC's also seem to be just as likely to be shielded as phono cables. Really very few unshielded IC's out there, even the most elementary have a twist over them, Speltz cable for an example.
