VPI table owners, help please.

I'm using the SuperScoutmaster with VPI signature arm and Dynavector XX2 or 17D3 cartridge. I'm using an Ayre P-5xe phono stage. Was wondering what cables you guys & gals have been using (or not using because?) between your arm and phonostage? I run RCA from arm to phono. Looking in the $500.00 range new for 1m pr. Any opinions would really help.
Rest of the system is VPI SDS, Ayre K-1XE preamp, Parasound JC-1 monoblocks, and Thiel CS7.2 speakers.

It appears that the VPI cable costs $200. Elusive Disc sells it:

Jameswei: Thanks for the help. For the time being this will probably be the way I will go. Has anyone got to compare this cable with any of the other popular phono cables out there?

I had the VPI cable, found it very ordinary, and sold it a year or so ago. Am currently using Oyaide PA-02 cables I terminate with Bullet Plugs, after going through umpteen others. Good luck, Dave

I've listened several cables and am presently using the Esoteric A4 interconnects between the Scout and phono preamp and also between the phono preamp and preamp.
