Cheap phono cable vs decent interconnect cable?


Which would you go for?
Cheap phono cable (below $70 for 1 meter) vs a decent RCA interconnect cable ($200~300 for 1 meter)?

For me, the worst RCA cable for phono connection was Nordost Blue Heaven interconnect cable. I think the reason was that Blue Heaven does not have enough shielding.

Any input/idea?

When it does not the job good enough (hum, signal flow...), then the "saved" money is not saved. In my opinion, the phono cable is the most important cable in the whole System. Next is the quality from the connectors (the difference can be huge, too and the solder....)
