Moderately priced DIN phono cable suggestions needed

Hi, all you analog guys, I want to replace my ancient phono interconnect for my Audioquest PT-5 tonearm(not sure which DIN orientation it has, maybe Jelco?).  This is on my also ancient AR ES-1 turntable, which still works fine.  I think I need about 1.5 meter length, unless that is long enough to cause audio quality problems.  I can't even remember what cable I currently have, but I think I kind of rigged it up back in the day.  The grounding cable is all frayed now.  Not sure if I need the straight DIN connector or the right angle one. 

I was thinking about the Audio Sensibility Impact SE at ~$230, but I'm sure there are other alternatives.  Any suggestions much appreciated.

OP: Take Five Audio's Mogami phono cables are worth taking a look at. Gene's builds are on par with high end cable makers that charge considerably  more money than what he is charging, he list specs for his finished cables, and is always a pleasure to deal with.

@noromance, Jelco from my understanding used Mogami cable in their tonearms and cables, as do a few high end cable makers according to other posters.
