Dopogue, you're kidding right? The average phono cable has left and right running in the same sheath. The average line interconnect is two physically separate cables. What's not to understand?
Why Are Phono Cables Different?
I have now read from several different cable manufacturers that phono cables have different requirements than line level interconnects. What surprised me is that in the cases I know about the phono cable is always cheaper than the line level interconnect.
For example, Stealth's Indra retails at $5750 but their phono cable is "only" $2800. I would have thought that the phono cable because of the small signal to preserve would require more care and thus more cost.
Can anyone tell me what special characteristics a phono cable should have compared to a line level interconnect? (This would also probably tell us why the phono cable is cheaper.)
Thanks.
