Solid core phono interconnect - Recommend Please

Hi,
I am looking for a high quality phono interconnect (RCA-RCA) preferably solid core. Currently I use ASI Liveline which is very detailed and transparent but it is not very fluid. The only reason I am looking for a solid core is because I find them more transparent than typical multi-strand cables. A good solid core copper interconnect should get me the flow and transparency I guess. Kindly recommend some. It need not be shielded because I dont live in the city area. It should be neutral, fluid and dynamic.

I am with Nandric, but if possible, eliminate the RCA (or DIN) plug at the tonearm end by directly soldering to the tonearm wires. The best "connector" is no connector.

If you don't want to DIY, you might check on eBay. There was a guy who advertised on eBay for custom phono cables. To my precise instructions he made me a pair of cables (DIN termination) that sound great. I will search for the name, if you are interested.

Pani, cables by Chris Sommovigo (ex Stereovox, now Stereolab) are amazing. I use his speaker and interconnect cables in my system. Last year i've bought used PHONO cable: Stereolab Master Reference 838 RCA to RCA (1.5m) and it works great between my phono headamp Zyx CPP-1 and phono preamp WLM Phonata.

OOPS you probably mean the wire to rewire the arm?? If you use regular RCA or XLR interconnects the Anti-Cable recommendation still follows.
