I know that this string is long been dead but,,,,, I have made a phono cable with good microphone wire and put it between my SUT and the preamp.btw this wire should be shielded as your phono cable is. The thing to do (according to Bob or Bob's devices) is to ground the shielding at one end only.It sounded very good only to be bettered by Mike Morrow's PH1.
