Tonearm cable recommendations




I think it might be time to 'upgrade' my tonearm cable (using Analysis Plus Crystal Oval interconnect now), as we are listening to records A LOT!

What's out there?

Any recommendations?

Anyone using/used Extreme Phono's Limited Edition cable? I'm thinking of demo-ing it.

Pricing, while important, should not be the major issue here....the sound is the thing.

My equipment: Aries extended, JMW 12.5, Lyra Helikon, McIntosh C100 pre-amp.

Thanks! All help is appreciated! I've learned everything from you Audiogoners over the past year!!

After a "brief" period of use (one week and 10+ hours) on
Nordost Quatro fil tonearm cable, I can definitely say it was a worthwhile upgrade. Most noticeable is the increased 'air' and 'spaciousness'...and there is more defined bass, which is really surprising. I can really hear the upright bass plucking now.

One drawback...I cannot stand to listen to the rest of my components now as they are connected using "lesser" interconnects and sound muddy comparatively. The CD player has some Valhalla on the way. The rest will have to wait!
Jbatlanta: Let me be the first to say, on behalf of the analog brigade, that part of the reason the rest of your system sounds worse is because you're comparing it to your best source! :-) The Valhalla will help, but your CD player ain't analog! Enjoy!
Bad news analogue geeks....now my CD player sounds waaaay better.... the darn Valhalla cable! Much more definition and highs, much more 'air'... less incentive to buy records!

Whatzupwidat? Do I have to get Valhalla interconnect for the turntable now to keep up with the CD player?
