I think the key word here is market. If you believe that the megabuck ICs offer good value, then you'll want a megabuck "phono" cable. I have no idea if they are worthwhile.
"Phono" Cable - Necessary if you have RCA outs?
I have a VPI Aries/JMW 10.5 tonearm, which has RCA outs. I am using a .5 meter Kimber Silver Streak to connect to my CAT preamp. It seems to do OK, but my question is: are there any advantages to using a cable marketed as a "phono" cable, vs. using a standard set of interconnects? I see that most phono cables have the DIN connection, which I don't need, but some are also RCA at both ends. Any thoughts/experiences?
