What makes phono cables different?


I'm in the process of auditioning several phono cables and I was curious about what makes them different from interconnects.

Quiet is probably the most important issue, but in general it's similar to regular interconnects, except now, due to low signal, the sensitivity is much higher. Most of my sytem is Audioquest cables. I have heard the emerald phono cable, the Hovland, but settled on the Siltech. The Siltech has an unusual grounding scheme. All connectors can be independently grounded, instead of just having one ground wire. This cable was considerably more quiet than the others I had tried.
