If your phono stage has XLR inputs, use XLR cables from cartridge to Phono stage.
Will you get dead silence? Maybe! Will the choice of XLR cable affect the sound? Maybe?
I use RCA phono cables to my Pass XOno (which has RCA inputs only). The choice of phono cable does affect the sound quality, however I always have dead silence! No noise, with ear to speaker, and volume all the way up.
