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!

Any RCA cable will "work". Ground is basic.

If you pay more that $100 for a meter of IC you are paying too much. Do yourself a favor, and buy what length you need from Speltz Anti-Cable IC. The cheapest of the three offered is just as good as the next one there.

Then, when someone brings over the greatest IC to your house, you have something that is spectacular to compare it with. I promise you, you won't be changing it out.

Hi,
I would suggest you give the Oritek Cables a try--Mail order and cheap direct from Ori.
Their Interconnects were the only ones to equal in fact nearly better my Nordost Valhallas.

Good Luck,
