I see it two ways-
1. it’s a 600 dollar table- what difference could it possibly make?
2. it’s a 600 dollar table- how good could the supplied wires be?
If it matters in the thought process, the turntable outs are RCA, not DIN.
I recently upgraded the stylus; I hadn’t paid much attention to the table as of late, but getting up close made me consider the cables. Lipstick on a pig? I just don’t know…

It’s definitely worth using better cables. I’ll bet the results will surprise you
rollo:
Jim only way to know is to try. Find a cable that can be returned and fits your budget. But before that decide what character of sound you are after. Every cable will sound different. Cables have a house sound . Find the sound you desire and try it.

Here is inexpensive cable. His speaker cables are made very well

I wound up ordering the Pine Tree wires this morning. 57.99 for 3 feet including shipping. There are plenty of others out there, though I can’t, in my own head, justify spending hundreds or thousands on cables for a 600.00 table.
Thanks all, you did convince me that an upgrade was warranted.

Nice. let us know if it makes a difference
steve:
James, don't just purchase any ics because of price etc. There are two very important criteria.
1) As low of cable capacitance as possible. Try to find the capacitance from a manufacturer before purchasing.
If you can, try to find the inductance of the phono cartridge. If a figure is not given, try to find the dc resistance
of the coils. I can help you figure the inductance from your results if need be.
Here is a link that can give you an idea of the frequency response to expect if you do find the inductance and
the capacitance of a possible cable. Maybe play with values to help you see the effects.

2) Try to find an ic that uses 6N pure copper wire if you can. If you want silver or other, at least attempt to keep capacitance as low as possible. (Make your own if you can.)
Hope this helps James.
