Tonearm RCA interconnect cable suggestions
 

running a very low output Allaerts MC cart to a Tron phono and then to ARC pre. I have one set of KS emotion RCA ICs but am in need of a second pair of ICs to replace some Rat Shack stand ins that are between Tron and ARC. Any suggestions for RCA ICs that sound outstanding and are very well shielded?

I'm using MIT Shotgun S1 Phono Interconnect

10 Articulation Poles
Shotgun S1 Phono Interconnect—The new Shotgun S1 Phono shares the unique articulation networks currently used in our (high performance) Shotgun S1 interconnects. MIT reconfigures these networks to allow you to tune your interfaces to align with input settings of 47k ohmss, 1000 ohms, or 100 ohms. This feature is for the ideal matching of phono cartridges to phono pre-amplifier input impedances . This new model boasts of improved dimensionality with a broader soundstage as compared to “conventional” cable designs. A new shielded design provides superb noise rejection for enhanced low level resolution. A must for any audiophile who really wants to enjoy vinyl recordings today.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Anyone using Kimber Selects on their TT rigs?

Cardas Clear gets my vote

Furutech Flux Silver Arrows. I love this solid silver cable. It truly shines after 100hrs burn-in using the Haggerman Phono Cable burner.

Silver Arrows Phono Cable Features
* Alpha Pure Silver Conductors
* Four-layer shielding for improved noise insulation
* Four-way grounding and external ground wire
* Insulation/Dielectric: Special-grade air-foamed polyethylene
* Carefully engineered cable clamp improves grip and reduces mechanical and electrically-induced distortion
* Dimensions: Cable diameter approx. 10.8mm - Overall length: 1.2M/set

I used another Japanese brand, Acrolink to do the job. In fact all cables (power cords and RCAs) in my systems are from Acrolink.

You do not need a specific phono rca cable between the phono stage output and pre amp. Any decent if will suffice. Probably better to use any you have connected to other sources for a starter.
I really like Nordost Valhalla and Tyr.

Between tonearm and phono stage you need a dedicated phono cable. Nordost is excellent, however for $500 the Furutech ag-12 is very hard to beat

Steve,
have you compared the ag-12 with the Silver Arrow? Would be interested in your thoughts.

Nice!! I'm also in the market for a good tonearm cable. I just recently found these. Im definitely interested in silver arrows. I'm presently using an aq sky w/ a separate ground wire but I would prefer to get these and use the sky between pre and amp. My other interconnect is a granite silver but its only 1/2 m and its driving me nuts being that short. Can't do anything with a half meter!

I use Cardas...
