In addition to short and shielded, low capacitance is critical. This is a high impedance node which makes it ripe for hum pickup and premature rolloff / phase issues from excessive capacitance.

SUT to MM cable? what should i get? cable mis-match
So I took thee plunge on the advice of some very helpful audiogoners and decided against the FR step up transformer. I decided to first try out an Entre ET-100 as it has inputs for 3 arms with difference impedence settings.
My question is this, having regard to the arms and cables i have acquired. I have a :
- HELIUS OMEGA with a silver cryo cable which goes from tags to plugs.
- FR64
- Moerch DP6
- SONY PUA7
- Mission/Jelco
I have a few different cables available to me:
1. Nordost Tyr
2. Cardas Golden Reference
3. TCI
4. Townshend
What kind of cable do i need from SUT to mm stage - tonearm cable? normal shielded interconnect?
Silver or copper? - length? Any specific specs - ie low capacitance???
