Do dedicated phono cables have different capacitance/conductance levels?

Hi,
I've recently set up a SME III tonearm on my Garrard 301, where the original SME phono cables were MIA. Using many different sets of standard interconnects, I'm just about getting a very low volume level through my speakers with an Audio-technica AT120E cartridge. This cartridge had worked fine on my second TT with the rest of the electronics unchanged. Could it be a problem with the inter-connects? Are phono cables designed with a diff conductance capacity, given the low signal levels? Incidentally, I've checked for continuity between the cartridge pins up to the RCA sockets at the base of the arm using a meter, and it seems fine.
Any reply would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Eddie
