Phono cable advice.

What are some good phono cable options for around $150ish and under? So far I’m looking at BJ LC-1 and Zu Audio Mission cables. This would be for between my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Esprit and most likely (still looking) a MoFi StudioPhono preamp. I have an extra pair of Kimber Silver Streak cables but they don’t look insulated well enough. I’ll be running DH Labs Air Matrix from my preamp to KEF LS50 Wireless speakers. I’d like something I can grow out a little with as I incrementally upgrade things. Stylus (Blue 2M?) is probably next.

Thanks for any input.

Excellent info @lewm  @chakster  

About to set up Luxman with existing cables and give it a listen. Amp is in the shop, table is getting altered to fit the 444.

I’m going to send my other Audience interconnects in too for the uprade. It’s cheap. $300 and you get a completely new cable. Upgrades are great when reasonably priced!

Just got my amp back today, left channel went out. Found out a faulty cable was the culprit for the damage to the amp. Just ordered Zu Audio Mission with the WBT nextgen connectors. Au24's are going back to Audience for free lifetime repair and an upgrade. One can never have too many cables. 

Side note: Listening to the only rca's avail, those being my Wireworlds which are satisfactory for my dig end, but aren't even close to the Audience. I never expected them to be. It's better than nothing!
