phono cable suggestions..

Try Music Boys at $12 a six-foot pair (only the 6-foot and 12-foot pairs are true Music Boys, Made in the U.S.A., ignore the 25' and 50'). For that money you can afford to take a chance: you'll be stunned. Order from http://starlink-dss.com/. Fast delivery (only in the U.S., however), utterly natural sound, extremely detailed, bottomless bass, incredible imaging. They're making so many converts they are now featured at the top of the home page, and this isn't an audiophool business, which explains the price. And despite the price, treat them as you would an expensive cable: burn them in.

Okay Readster, I'll bite. Where can you get a discovery cable for $100 ? Or are you just trolling for gags ?

I'm having success with Nordost Red Dawns. My equipment is: VPI Scout, Shelter 501 II, Graham Slee Evevator EXP, Graham Slee Gold MKV. The clarity and transparency is phenominal, and I'm not getting interference.

I'll strongly second the Music Boys, although they're no longer identified by this name at Starlink. The 6-footers are identified as being from Petra Industries, the 12-footers still may carry the Music Boy ID. These are fabulous cables and not just "for the price." Thanks to Johnnantais for recommending them to me months ago.

I've rewired my entire system (including phono links to my 3 turntables) with them, displacing Kimber KCAG, Audioquest Lapis and Diamond, Mapleshade, and Omega Mikro wires. They're that good. But they sound better reterminated (Bullet Plugs, Cardas, etc.) and best of all without RCA plugs at all. Anybody interested in how to do that may feel free to contact me. Dave

Forgot the most important part. At Starlink these are identified as COMPONENT VIDEO CABLES, which means, among other things, that each set includes 3 cables rather than 2. The last time I looked, the 6-footers were $8.95 and the 12-footers were $11.95. No kidding, these are the real deal.
