Phono Cable "breakout"

If I understand the issue correctly with your setup, since the VPI tonearm has RCA jacks you can resolve it by using most standard RCA interconnects which are generally two separate cables. This would eliminate any problem with the wide spacing of the input jacks on your phono stage. If you need to connect a ground wire to eliminate hum (although many times it is not needed with VPI tables) you can use a separate single conductor wire for the ground connection. The ground cable does not have to be integrated with the RCA cables and you can use any reasonable quality conductor that can be connected to the ground posts. Hope this helps!

Any RCA interconnect can be used for phono, but since the cable is handling a much lower level signal than with line level sources some additional criteria should be considered. Suitable interconnects should generally be well shielded designs, since these cables are susceptible to picking up hum from any electromagnetic sources in close proximity. The cables should also have low capacitance which is particularly important for MM cartridges, since their sound is more significantly affected by capacitive loading than are MC cartridges. The bottom line is that you can really try any RCA cables with your setup and just see which sound best to you.
