I agree too, phono cart to phono amp. Because the signal is so low level it needs all the help it can get transmitting the music truthfully and without external interference or noise. With a parallel tracking arm I need to use silver litz wire into locking plugs and junction box. I run my whole system balanced so I can use high quality XLR terminations and from the box to the phono amp. |
a lot of back and forth, here I am not a engineer but I do know that overall quality in any process is only as good as the weakest element. Goldratt in his Theory of Constraints called them bottlenecks or friction points. So with that as a guide and from a cost efficiency persective, shouldn’t all cables be of equal quality in a system. Obviously, in reality we may have varying quality of cables and to use what we have is a necessity for most, in that case end the chain with your best so as to capture as much as possible of what the front end pieces is sending.

@jpsreno I don't agree, because some connections are more critical and some are more challenged, so gains can be made by concentrating quality there. Only where all applications are of equal importance is there a case for according equal attention to all. |
