GroverHuffman.com made silver very low capacitance phono cables 20 years ago for $75. Mr Record, Robert Pincus (IMPEX, swears by them). No, they are not the end all SOTA cables but they have a mid-range sound that is excellent, good bass and treble extension, open and detail sounding. Contact him for a pair under $150 (although he would try to persuade someone to purchase this superior phono-cables). I bought his cables 20 years ago and was satisfied with them then and consider them a bargain for how good they sound today (I've got the Pharoahs now at $750-see his site for the Empress description at half that price).
Phono cable advice.
What are some good phono cable options for around $150ish and under? So far I’m looking at BJ LC-1 and Zu Audio Mission cables. This would be for between my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Esprit and most likely (still looking) a MoFi StudioPhono preamp. I have an extra pair of Kimber Silver Streak cables but they don’t look insulated well enough. I’ll be running DH Labs Air Matrix from my preamp to KEF LS50 Wireless speakers. I’d like something I can grow out a little with as I incrementally upgrade things. Stylus (Blue 2M?) is probably next.
Thanks for any input.
