Very beginner question re: interconnects

I just ordered a VPI scoutmaster with JMW 9 signature tonearm. It is my first nice turntable. It is wired, I believe, to use RCA interconnects to connect to the phono amp. Can any RCA interconnects work, or is it necessary to use phono cables? If regular connects will work, can any ground cable be added?

Last thing, can anyone give me suggestions as to a few good i/c's? I use audioquest columbia's in the rest of my system.

Thanks very much!

Listen to the 3 ahead of me, you do not need to spend $$$$ for good interconnects on this analog set up.
You may want to consider if you want a Silver or a Copper wire. This will change the sound. I may stand corrected on this one but I stay with Copper on my Analog. Some may disagree and thats ok.
I would check with Frank at Signal Cable as another source.
Having had 2 VPI tables I never found the external ground was needed.
