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.

TyRay.......be happy with ClearDay double shotgun.   I compared them to the very top of Wireworld, Kimber, and Audioquest, which were a multi-thousand dollar expense.   I actually preferred ClearDay double shotgun.

I have tried many but needed a longer run and made one myself. I used 2 Audioquest Digital coaxial cables and a ground. Wrapped it in McIntosh Green Techflex! Best I ever heard!

A big shout-out to lewm for recommending the Anti-cables. I went with the top of the line and had them burned in for 150 hours for an extra twenty bucks. I got them yesterday and am truly astonished by how they have transformed my vinyl playback. Wow! I wouldn't have believed phono cables could make such a difference if I hadn't experienced with my own ears. Thanks!
