Phono Cables for Sutherland 20/20 mk1?

For those unfamiliar with the Sutherland 20/20 mk1, it has a somewhat unique challenge of having a wide spread between the RCA inputs for the R/L channels. The cables need to be able to comfortably spread about 10".

I was mentally ready to commit to the Cardas Clear Beyond phono cable, but after speaking with the seller it became apparent that the RCAs wouldn't reach without sending them out for modification. 

With all that said, I'm curious what others would suggest for this specific application. I've had my eye on a couple models (ideally used) but very open to suggestions.

I had 20/20 MkII with LPS and used Acoustic Zen Silver Ref 2 which sounded amazing with it. Should not be an issue with the wider spread on the 20/20 MkI

For anyone that stumbles on this in the future, I have a set of AQ Leopard on loan from a friend. They fit quite nicely, but unfortunately they aren't that easy to come by.

If your situation is that you need the phono cables to be separate/individual cables, most of them are just that, a pair of cables. Morrow Cables and Triode Wire Labs phono cables for example, are both a pair of cables. So a separation of the connections would not be an issue.

I actually ended up moving to an SUT and I also acquired the cables that were designed with that unit, which are individual cables. resolves my issue and makes life a little easier.
