Turntable cables . . . possible upgrade?

Hi All,

I have an 80s vintage Micro Seiki turntable that I really like, but it has really chintzy looking cables (stock) to connect it. I recently got a new preamp that doesn't have a phono section, so I'll be buying a phono preamp. That I will run to my amp with good interconnects.

My Question: is it possible to replace the stock cables on a turntable with something better? How much do they limit the sound my cartridge is capable of producing?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

the rustler
