In Reply to: RE: Recommend some new RCA cables for my Philips 312! posted by Roypercy on August 12, 2021 at 08:33:47
You want control over the total amount of capacitance the cartridge sees. Low capacitance per foot in the bulk cable you make the interconnects out of is desirable. Additional capacitance, should it be necessary, is easily added.
Given the above, I suggest you use Mogami 2549 bulk cable. Canare F-10 RCA plugs at the preamp end will give you good quality, without being silly expensive.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'm sorry I'm a bit of a newb at this. The original cable has one conductor and a grounding shield per side. (THis is in addition to the separate ground wire). Given that the Mogami has two conductors, would I combine them - solder them together -at the TT end, or use one as conductor and one as ground?
Thanks
You retain the separate motor grounding wire.
The sophisticated arrangement uses the 2 conductors for the signal and a "drain" wire from the shield to the phono preamp's grounding post. Do not connect the shield at the TT end of the cable. The shield is not involved, whatsoever, with signal carrying. Phono cartridges are differential devices and lack a true signal ground.
