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.

I have a  Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Esprit SB and when I decided to upgrade the phono interconnect cable, I went with Audio Sensibility.

With the current 13% off deal, and the CA to US currency exchange rate, the price for a 1.2 M cable, with burn-in service, is $136. 

I'm happy with mine. Noticed an immediate improvement over stock. I think the $10 CAD for the burn-in service is a bargain. This is a small signal cable, and could potentially take a long time to burn-in just playing music.
