I need to get a chord to go from my pre amp(turntable) to my mpc.
my pre amp has both rca and stereo output(1/4)
which one is better to run out? what's the difference?
does it matter if I get a monster cable or a regular kind?
will it affect the sound quality

expensive cables are a con, you won't notice any difference

check the pre-amp's manual, but I would assume it doesn't matter whether you use the rca or 1/4" jack, they'll both send the same signal, just different socket types

a friend o'mine (audio technician and bass player for many years in a lot of bands) tells me that the signal going thru jack cables is better than thru rca, but i don't remember why... sorry
