Recommend phono interconnect under $80

hochpt21

Gear in in my signature.

I had a SignalCable silver for awhile that I liked just fine. I've since changed things around and the SC silver is between my DAC and amp.

I picked up a pair of Morrow MA1's that I am currently using between my TT and amp, but they have a decent buzz when no music is playing.

I'm leaning towards just getting another SC silver unless someone has some recommendations for the same price or less.

My system is fairly warm so I am looking for something revealing.

Please recommend or set me straight!

Thanks,
Paul

Edit...I have a separate ground wire so that's not an issue.

Hey Paul!

I have 2 pairs of Franks Silver SignalCable, one I current using on my phono amp and the other on my Headphone amp which is collecting dust.

If you interested in one of my pairs just let know, 1 pair is 24" long with standard RCA, the other is 37" long and has the Neutrik ProFi connectors. I can use either the 24 or 37 inch pairs for my setup so you can pick which works best for you if your interested in another pair.

If your interested I'd trade you your bi-wire cables for the IC's and I'd throw in a Deoxit audio/video Survival kit in a nice case I only opened to look at but never used due to having a bunch of Deoxit stuff already.

Thanks for the offer @voltz

I'm going to do a bit of research (and hopefully get some more replies here)

I'll shoot you a message by next weekend if that's ok?

sounds great! still always worth looking for that special cable someone might have.

I messaged Frank from Signal and he said the only difference between his Silver interconnect and his Silver 'Phono' interconnect is that the 'Phono' has a "smaller guage size"......why would that be beneficial to the phono application??

good question / looking at the 2 pairs I have they look the same except for the connector's.

I wonder if the smaller gauge lowers the overall cable capacitance. I know the BJC cables use a very small gauge conductor for this reason.
