Suggestions for phono cable

I run Cardas Clear Light from my Parasound JC3+ to my BAT preamp. I run VPI phono cable from my VPI Scout to the Parasound phono pre.

I'm considering a new phono cable. I own Purist speaker cable and I've heard good things about their phono cables, but I've also considered a Cardas Clear light phono cable.

Whatever I end up with id like it to be neutral and definitely not contribute to any brightness in the system. I have Thiel speakers.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

I have a Scout. You don't need to use a special phono cable, regular IC's work fine. I have a bunch of cables, but the ones I like the best are AQ Cheetah's. The DBS system is good for TT's because its takes less time for the cables to break in, and they stay broken in for longer periods of time if left unused.

That's an actual tonearm cable. The Scout has regular rca outputs on it so you can use regular IC's. If you look at the Cheetah I mentioned in my first post, its looks pretty much to be the same cable, except for how its terminated. Either way, its a great cable. I have some Golden Reference laying around, along with some Wireworld, Tara and Kimber Select. Cable company also sent me some PAD, Synergistec and Harmonic to try, as well, but the AQ was the best one.
