VPI table owners, help please.

I talked to Nordost, and Cardas and the tech at Music direct. Cardas says the cables are pretty much the same wether phono or regular. Just set up to use with DIN connector and I should just use the normal rca/rca cables. Sounds like basicly the same with the Nordost cables. It seems like if noise is not an issue the great advantage of not having to use a DIN plug is being able to use any cables you like. I have tried four different cables and the only one that I got any hum from were the Bogdans(unshielded). To bad since they are my favorite. I would think that the burn in issues with such a small output from the cartridge would be a real concern but easily overcome. I have some other cables by Audioquest (DBS) to try so that wont be a problem with them. The Nordost cables I am going to try come pre-burned from music direct with 30 day trial so thats a plus. I will also try the Zu Xaus phono cable since they have a money back trial also. Thanks for the help everyone. I will post my findings as I go through cables.

I have the Scout using a Fidelity ResearchFR1mk3f into a Sutherland PHD,and I presently use Shunyata Aries.I tried a half metre length of Kimber PBJ because it has thin wires similar to the arm wire.Not a very good sound.The Shunyata went back in. Also have used Cardas 300B, Axion, and old Audio Technica cable(no joke, very smooth,litz type)all had their own strengths and weaknesses.Never had any ground hum issues with any of the cables.

With the Aries 2/JMW10.5 I use Harmonic Technologies Crystal Silver phono cable. Great cables.

"Cardas says the cables are pretty much the same whether phono or regular. Just set up to use with DIN connector and I should just use the normal rca/rca cables. "
I guess one could say that all cables are pretty much the same." In fact is not that the current debate. Some say zip cord is "pretty much the same" as all.
Don't take my word for it . Give it a try. Include on your list a well made silver phono cable. You'll be glad you did.

Gregadd, I have several "normal" and phono cables setup for audition. Dont assume me to be in the camp of people that think cables are all the same. If I was I would not be on this hunt. First three are going to be the VPI and Zu Xaus phono cables and Nordost Heimdall (regular rca-rca cable). I also have here an extra pr. of Audioquest Panthers and some nice homemade solid silvers that a friend brought by. Hopefully one of these will be all I need.
