Phono cable for SL-1200G

Have been considering options for phono cable for the Technics and should know better than to ask this question, but confusion is simple in this area. Cable leads into inputs on PSAudio NPC phono converter from, most likely, a Hana Umami Blue.  Started thinking about DH Labs Dimension (haven't found any comments on it), WireWorld Micro-Silver Eclipse 8, Zafino Highlands MKII, Morrow PH6 (or 7 if a deal), or maybe higher level AntiCables (although not strictly phono there).  Transparency is the name of the game here, not coloration.  I'd be interested to hear what others think about interference and how to avoid it.  I'm open to any other revelations. I know cables have always been a bugaboo. If you don't believe in them, please stay away.

Generally you want a low capacitance cable between the turntable and phono stage. Look to see what manufacturers give measurements for this. 

I'm using a lowly Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 which is 12.2 pF/ft (36.6 pF/ft over 3 feet) it was a noticeable improvement in clarity over the stock cable on my SL-1200GR. They now make an LC-2 which has an even lower figure at 11pF/ft.
