Product Details
Synergistic Research SRX XL Phono Interconnect Cable
The SRX XL Phono Interconnect applies Synergistic Research's SRX XL cable platform to the ultra-low-voltage phono signal, engineered with conductor geometries and shielding specifically optimized for phono cartridge compatibility rather than adapted from a line-level design. Its silver conductors are spaced and arranged with dedicated electromagnetic coupling and decoupling zones to suit both high- and low-output cartridges. It's built on the same extended-duration high-voltage conditioning process as the rest of the SRX XL line, and is available with RCA, XLR, and straight or right-angle DIN connectors to match your turntable, tonearm, or phono stage. As an authorized Synergistic Research dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you specify the right connector configuration for turntables such as our Rega Planar 3 or Dr. Feickert Blackbird.
Key Features
- Conductor geometry and shielding engineered specifically for phono cartridge signal levels, compatible with both high- and low-output cartridges
- Available with RCA, XLR, and straight or right-angle DIN termination
- SRX XL Active Shielding with Graphene coating
- Ships standard with Gold and Silver carbon fibre UEF Tuning Bullets, terminated per DIN connection (work entirely outside the signal path)
Tuning Modules
SRX XL Phono cables ship standard with Gold and Silver carbon fibre UEF Tuning Bullets. After letting the cable settle in for 48–72 hours, compare the two:
- Gold — warmer, more liquid balance; also open and transparent
- Silver — more extended and detailed

SRX XL Phono FAQ
Will this work with my turntable's tonearm cable?
It's available with straight or right-angle DIN connectors in addition to RCA/XLR, to match common tonearm outputs — confirm your tonearm's connector type with your Vinyl Sound dealer.
Does it work with both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges?
Yes — Synergistic Research designed the conductor geometry to suit both high-output (typically moving magnet) and low-output (typically moving coil) cartridges.
Should I use Gold or Silver tuning modules?
It's system-dependent — Gold tends toward warmth and liquidity, Silver toward extension and detail. Let the cable settle for 48–72 hours, then compare both.
