Phono cable advice.


What are some good phono cable options for around $150ish and under? So far I’m looking at BJ LC-1 and Zu Audio Mission cables. This would be for between my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Esprit and most likely (still looking) a MoFi StudioPhono preamp. I have an extra pair of Kimber Silver Streak cables but they don’t look insulated well enough. I’ll be running DH Labs Air Matrix from my preamp to KEF LS50 Wireless speakers. I’d like something I can grow out a little with as I incrementally upgrade things. Stylus (Blue 2M?) is probably next.

Thanks for any input.

After noticing that my "vintage" Linn Basik table seemed have suffered from tonearm cable rat bites (!) when owned by the previous guy, I decided to look around for another cable. DIN to RCAs with a grounding line...none of the local "audio salons" had one, nor were they particularly interested in my dilemma...lame...so, I ordered a Jelco gold plug Mogami in pink...the only color available, and it’s amazingly good, with hum and noise rejection to a degree that renders that stuff a non issue.
I must have found the Jelco cable on Ebay somewhere...and now that I just checked, indeed there are several...type in Jelco Phono Cable and there ya go!
My Jelco Mogami din /rca is real, and sounds great...I've been using Mogami for decades in pro stuff so I know what's what.
