Out here we always end up discussing/recommending audiophile brands of cables which IMO in most cases are voiced. You pay for the voicing in general. If you talk about neutrality, the most neutral cable I have heard yet is Mogami (Japan). Here is a phono cable that is purposefully built for SME and Jelco arms by Jelco using a suitable Mogami conductor:

You can buy them off ebay. They cost hardly anything by but they beat most of the "super cables" we normally talk about. Try it out, not to save your money but to hear a very uncoloured, wide band, clean presentation. It may end up as your reference cable to measure other incoming cables. Just my 0.02.

Good to know Pani. This cable came with my Moerch DP-6 and I have been wondering if I would benefit from an upgrade to a more expensive cable. Looks like I will be trying cables that offer an audition/return option.

Roscoeiii, undoubtedly you have a very nice cable already and it is good enough to be used with most high end MCs. I have seen and heard this cable being used in very high end analog setups which had cartridges like ZYX universe and TTs like Avid Acutus. These setups had were clad with very expensive cables all throughout but for phono this Jelco was considered worthy. This is just one example, I have heard more.
