Ben's TT Phono Cable

SolidSqual

First impression, these cables are exactly the same design as Ben's ICs with the addition of a ground wire, which is awesome because synergy is key in this hobby and my whole system is rigged with Ben's ICs.

The ground wired is composed of a very rigid wire that holds its shape once bent. This is particularly useful when trying to angle the wire correctly to get it to rest properly on tucked away ground posts. The ground wire is terminated with a fork. I had requested a ring, but Ben had the foresight to realize that the grounding post on my TT did not completely unscrew. Whew, thanks for that one pal. You saved me from bustin' out my dremel and doing some DIY.

Now, my main incentive for buying these cables was not only system synergy but the fact that the stock cables were prone to picking up radio frequencies from local Rock channels. When music wasn't playing, Queen and Led Zeppelin could be heard at very low volumes from my tweeters. With the addition of Ben's cables, PROBLEM SOLVED. Thank god too, because that kind of stuff keeps me up at night.

Solid Connections! Have you ever tightened the binding posts on the backs of your speakers or amps and been surprisingly greeted with tighter more accurate sound? A solid connection is the building block of getting the music from point A to point B with as little resistance and coloration as possible. The RCA connectors on Ben's cables grip the RCA outs with white-knuckle force.

Out of the box, these cables have already impressed me by eliminating the RF issues I mentioned earlier. Not only that, they sound clearer and warmer than the stock Pro-ject junk. Bear in mind, I've broken-in several sets of Ben's cables. These bad boys still have some maturing to do, but for the time being, I am thoroughly pumped and look forward to hearing the level of detail and transparency increase over the next 35 - 50 hours.

Thanks Ben, you've delivered another high quality product at a great price.

Thanks Mike. Please do keep in mind it should take longer to burn them in with the low voltage signal TT's present. If people are burning in my cables a lot of the time I tell them to put them between a CDP and pre first to burn them in the fastest.
Glad to hear you are enjoying them.
Thanks again.

+1 for Ben and his cables. If I get a TT that has RCA connectors instead of built in cables I would have to get some of Ben's TT cables.

The ground sounds like a great improvement over the stock TT ground wire on my Technics.

+1 on Bens cables here also.

To help burn them in, I just leave a tuner on for a week. His cables on my system sounded better then a set of $400 audioquest Columbian, AQ sidewinders, MIT 2, and pure av from blekin.

Great price, great rpoduct.
