Do I need a Phono Cable?


With my new turn table, I am re-using spare cables i have at the house.  Currently I am using a pair of 2m AQ King Cobras, and a have of a zip cord for my ground.  Will i really see a difference swapping to something like the Furutech cable or some other phono specific built cable?

I have not seen any issues to day, and I can't imagine a ground will impact sound, but wanted to ask.

So i decieded to roll my own, and the results seem to be positve and better than my AQs.

I used some Parts Connection BL-AG 23awg solid silver core wire, with Deusland 16awg wire as a ground connected to the drain wire of each run. I terminated with KLEI pure connects and WBT 4% silver solder.

Much better and less bright than what I had before, and seems much cheaper than the Furutech i was looking at, seems like at the moment good enough for me.


I am going to try some Signal cable, reasonably priced that seems worth trying, or I may roll my own using some silver solid core.
