Owners of Jelco arms?


In my haste to buy a new Jelco arm (TK 850M) while still available I forgot they do not come with an interconnect.  So I'll need a cable with a straight DIN which does not cost more than the arm!

Can any other Jelco owners comment on what you would recommend and why you like it?

Thanks

I linked to AS above. I did try their phono cable with the OCC wire and the Jelco one was better. Passed more detail and air.
Jelco JAC 501. It's clear and transparent. Around $120. Try George Merrill or here.
I notice they’re getting more expensive as Jelco closed.
Don’t be tempted to settle for cheaper 101 version. It is inferior.

@hdm Hi again. On both the AS phono cable and Yamamoto headshell, the dealbreaker for me was loss of high frequency detail and air which impacted transparency and spacial cues, and ultimately the soul of the music. The AS cable had no redeeming quality over the Jelco 501. The HS4 had cleaner mid bass but that wasn’t enough to redeem it. Perhaps it has to do with my system but I would counsel the OP to try both cables and make their own decision.
