I have no hum or audible noise that I can hear from my system now. And the PBJ's I'm using don't have much shielding. but I'm not opposed to getting phono cables for better Sonics, but I don't see where I need the phono cables just for shielding. Unless there is noise I cannot hear that effects the sound quality.
Dedicated Phono Cables required??
I am getting back to vinyl! My question is about interconnect cables vs dedicated “phono cables”. Presently I have the Project carbon Debut connected to the Schitt Mani preamp via standard audioquest ½ m interconnects, and a Pair of Kimber PBJ interconnects -2 meter, from the Mani to my Marantz 8802A pre amp RCA inputs. I thought the Mani would be a better preamp than the Phono inputs of the Marantz. What do u think?
Back to my question. should I use standard interconnects from the turntable to the Mani?, and should I use standard interconnects from my Mani to the Marantz? Is there a difference in using a dedicated labeled phono cable of 2 M to the Mani in sound quality?
Also would I be better off moving the Mani closer to the Marantz to make that cable shorter, and the cable from the TT to the Mani longer? Or doesn’t make a difference. Apologize for the many questions ,I hope I am clear.
I also have a set of Balanced inputs available for use on the Marantz so I was thinking also maybe an RCA to XLR cable??

These come highly recommended at their price point; I’ve been thinking of picking up the DIN version myself when I get around to replacing my phono cable. I also want to check out the Cardas cables that Boxer12 mentioned. http://audiosensibility.com/blog/products-2/phono-cables-occ-copper-and-occ-silver/#!/Impact-SE-RCA-... |
