I own a Brinkmann Balance. I recently did phono cable auditions.
Clearly each system is different but these are MY OPINIONS:
1. Transparent Reference MM. (Best Sonics, but very expensive)
2. Shunyata Antares (Great sonics this is an under rated cable)
3. Jena Labs Phono 4 (Good Sonics, Best Value)
4. Nordost Valhalla (OK sonics, but lacks "body")
5. Hovaland Music Grove 2 (Average performance)
6. Sterovox (Poor Sonics and Value)
