SME 309 VDH tonearm cable replacement

Do cables exist with the SME plug that i could fit in the sme base just easily replacing the VDH ??
Is that a good idea to improve the sound of the SME 309 ??
Which type brand ??
I guess I should buy in the shortest version, correct ??
Other subject
I read around of a Disjunction box by sumiko that is supposed to give you a full choice of interconnect cables and that is of help for the turntable floaring freedom.
Opinion ??
thank you

The cardas and kimbers aren't that high. The Hovland is. You're going to have to spend $200-300+ to better significantly what you have.

Forgot to mention Graham, which is what I'm using now. All of these can be found used occasionally.

I am more than convinced that the connection box will not be heard if you wish to add it, nobody here is 20 years old and fresh ears to notice it.
Otherwise all the cables of the Sme should be replaced obtaining a direct line from the head to the phono preamp without joints. LoL

Not I was not joking .... a derivation box with all the junctions between shell and arm between arm and din will not clearly affect the degradation.
Straight line is better, but Sme is Sme and dynamometric tightening performed at home are serious things; they are not like the Zeta arm assembled by chance  for example    ;)
