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.

No. I tried other cables using 2534 for a second arm. It was substantially inferior to the Jelco. I do not know why other than it didn’t sound good.
Tell you what. Buy the Jelco RCA for $88. If you don’t like it, I will buy it from you.

Just make sure you buy from an authorized Jelco dealer, or direct. I know for a fact Chinese are cloning this cable. Anything from a not authorized source is 99.9% guaranteed to be fake.

It was actually these I tried. No good.
