My concern is with the wiring scheme; I have not learned much about this, but what I have learned is that balanced tonaram cables come in more than one variety, and the more I read the more confused I am. So, the thing stopping me from ordering the Jelco 506 cable is that I am not certain it is correctly configured for the Aqvox. It does not have separate ground cable, which makes me wonder if the grounding scheme is correct from the Aqvox..? I am tempted to get the Aqvox copper cable ($600USD) just be sure the cable is perfectly compatible, but if the Jelco will work that would be fantastic. The attached pdf file is from Aqvox and discusses the XLR pin assignments. The Aqvox is a great phono stage even with the adapters and I really want to resolve the cable issue and fully enjoy it. Thanks for all the replies, Jim
