Recommended interconnect phono to preamp


Hello, I am looking for a 0.5m interconnect for my VPI-JWA tone arm to a GCPH Cambridge preamp. I'm just overwhelmed at the number of choices. I will not be fooled by a 5000U$ half meter of anything but I want a quality shielded cable.
Thanks for the input.

I am very happy with the Morrow PH-3 cables that I am using between my VPI Classic and EAR 834p phono preamp.
I'm another VdH user. Mine is the Integration. I've used it on both an LP12 and my current LT-30
I bought some 28ga cotton-insulated silver wire, a Cardas DIN plug, and in my case some Neutrik XLRs (you might want male RCA plugs), from M Percy and made my own IC, for a net investment of around $100. Percy also sells the braided shield and heat shrink you might want. This is for use in what I consider to be a high end system and sounds fabulous.
I tried a bunch, and ended up with VPI cable, it sounds great. I have recently switched to a Graham Slee made cable to match the connections to my Graham Slee Elevator step up transformer, and these have been wonderful as well.

I would suggest the VPI cables first, great cable regardless of price, and they are not expensive.
1.5M appears to be a magic number for some, it is also recommended by some of the digital cable companies. On the face of it shorter should be better but as I have not [ and will not, short of being granted immortality] taken the time to exhaustively compare different length cables of identical construction I have no idea if there is anything in it. George Cardas said on his forum that he did not think 1.5 was necessary but to avoid 24" to 30" ones, I forget why. With TT use cartridge loading by varying amounts of capacitance is involved but the whole question is quite murky with respected designers holding opposing views.
FWIW Brooks Berdan told me to use 1.5 meter I/C, nothing less, from TT>phono.
I believe that GCPH is not made by Cambridge but PS Audio and I am very pleased with Morrow Audio PH3 cables.
In my system, heavy emphasis on my system, the Hovland Music Groove 2 was the best one I found without more than doubling my price. YMMV.
I am a VPI dealer and have had good luck with the Van den Hul THE FIRST ULTIMATE in the metal screened version. Actually the unscreened works as well in most cases. I was using them myself before becoming a dealer. But there is no one cable that will sound best in every case.
Here's the choice I've been happily using for many years now.
