Phono cable idea's

Synergistic Research Tricon Analog- search for threads here on Audiogon. It transformed my analog rig and it's in your price range. A good SR dealer should have a factory burned in cable for you to try.

A dedicated Phono cable should be made for Phono applications (resistance, shielding, quality of copper/silver and high quality plugs, quality of solder...)
Most manufacturers do only a rebrand from existing reg. cables and sell them as a Phono cable (the mono-meter for 2x the price..)
When you prefer copper, XLO Phono signature is excellent
or
When you prefer silver, Audioquest LeoPard is a top cable

see earlier comment...email me if you want something special. This is a no brainer since I had a chance to audition without purchase.

Stanwal is a vdH dealer and that should have been disclosed.

Without that information his recommendation is unprofessional and unethical.

Stanwal...you are unprofessional AND unethical. One is bad enough...BUT BOTH! You have now been banished to Planet AP! (I am picturing the scene where Superman's dad (Jorel?) banishes the three criminals to infinity in that prism jail).
