LP12 with Linn Silver T-cable or Nordost Frey,Tyr

I am about to upgrade my Linn LP-12 cable. At first I was going to replace my old Linn T-cable with the Linn Silver T-cable? What do you think about Nordost Frey or Tyr? Will they fit? I have read somewhere that if you don't replaced it with another Linn cable you suspension will suffer because Linn cables are softer and more pliable. Have you heard this?

I have Linn silver interconnects to my Linto and the rest of my cabling is Nordost Frey.

I like blues, jazz, rock, classical and my system Linn LP-12, Ekos, Trampolin, Cirkus, Klyde, Lingo, Linn Ikemi, Sim Audio Moon P5 & W5, Nordost Frey, Linn Silver, PS Audio Power Plant Premier.

I am using it on my Basis 2001 with Graham arm. I had the Graham silver cable but like this one better. I have another currently in the mail from England for my Linn LP 12 I am upgrading with Sole sub chassis , new power supply etc. I am putting a Jelco 750 on it. This cable is very flexible and I am not worried about using it on the Linn. Very high quality workmanship and parts and great sound. He offers return privileges so you can't get hurt. No connection except as a very satisfied customer.

It may be a while. A friend who is a semi retired audio technician is modifying the LP 12 for me and he does a very good job but has other activities as well. I have a Mose Hercules power supply, a Sole sub chassis, new springs, etc. and I don't want to try it myself. The designer of the cable made it to work on his own LP 12 so there shouldn't be any problem.
