Why not these cables for my TT


Looking for cables to use from my Onkyo TX-NR905 to my VPI Aries Scout with a JMW 9 memorial tonearm and an Ortofon 2m Bronze.

Tell me why these won't or will do the job.

#2680 from Monoprice. They are 6ft, 18awg, solid copper, shielded, with 24ct gold plated plugs. Oh and they cost less than $4/cable. Okay with shipping let's say $8/cable.

I am looking at VPI, Audioquest, Anti-Cables, Blue Jeans, and a few others in the $175 - $300 range. But why should I waste my money if the monoprice will do the job?

Has anyone tried them or are using them?

Some of those cables like Blue Jeans, or Anti may not have enough shielding for phono signal use. Good shielding is of course a must for the tiny phono signal.
