Anyone know of a reasonable Tonearm Cable??

I have an older turntable with a worn tonearm cable, I would like to replace it with something not priced in the stratosphere. It is a Sota Star Sappphire with MMT sumiko arm and Grado Reference cartridge

thanks,Bill

Agree with Nagarch, It would be helpful to know what you consider the stratosphere. I'm currently using the breeze phono cable from Silver audio with a Grado ref(VPI version 1.5mv)/JMW10/TNT with excellent results. It is very fast and transparent without being bright. At around $400 it's certainly below what I would consider "the stratosphere" and probably competes with cables costing much more.

Franks, I thought the Silver Breeze (a great phono cable BTW) cost more like 600 or 800 bucks, no?

Actually, it's current price is $525 din-rca/xlr, $600 for rca-rca or xlr-xlr. When I bought mine a few years ago it was in the $400 range. Stil, resonablly priced, as cables go, and offers a lot for the ptice IMHO.
Another less costly option would be the Signal Cable silver resolution phono cable around $100-150 depending on the configuration.
