Stay away from molded cables if you can and build your own using Neutrik (www.neutrik.com ) connectors and Musiflex (www.digiflexcables.com ) cables.

Or

Try these:

Neutrik phonos are very expensive (the ones with the spring loaded screen) but definatley the best.

Always try and build your own cables as you can specifiy the exact length.

If you can't find the cable Shaun mentioned have a look for van damme cables, failing that make sure you get something with OFC copper. Personally for turntables I use a car audio cable that has a centre conductor I can use for the ground leads, only trouble with that is it is a bit stiff as it is not designed to move around, although this is good for permanant installtions. The ranges above will have a nice flexible patch lead cable that is easier to bend.

A very rotten cable :P

A molded cable has a solid plastic "molded" housing for the jack that cannot unscrew or be taken apart without cutting it open.

For example

-->> Unmolded -->> www.hosatech.com
