On the hunt for best phono cable under $1k

Looking give everything a touch more of warmth with out sacrificing any detail, let the impossible challenge begin! ha.

Really leaning towards Cardas' Golden Cross but I can't seem to get Cable Co to get back with me about their loaner program. Any suggestions?

I am using a EMT TSD 15 N into an Allnic H 1201. Other cables are A23s, which I can't seem to get to the bottom of whether or not they make a phono cable.

Do you need the ground wires? If not, you are free to choose from any RCA IC.

If by phono cable, you mean interconnects....

I've been satisfied with Herron Audio cable. It's not that expensive but performs very well with his equipment. Haven't heard it with other equipment.

My experience is that if you're looking for warmth, remove all the cable from your system that uses silver and go with all-copper cable. My opinion is that silver adds an artificial treble peak and dries out the sound. YMMV.
