Tonearm cable cost no object


Hi, can someone suggest best DIN-RCA tonearm cable for my SME V?
My ICs and SC now are KS Elations, but there is no such cable in line.
I'm thinking about Stealth Hyperphono.
Any other suggestions?

The Stealth is good, I've heard it in my system. Along with a Graham IC 50.

I also think you must add the Purist Audio Designs Proteus Provetus Praesto to your list. I've used the non praesto version with my former SME 20/2 IV.Vi arm. Killer companion in my opinion. And I used it with Lyra's (helicon and skala)

I think this is the best cable in purist's line for tonearm use. incredibly quiet, very transparent, extended at both ends. very linear...doesn't highlight anyone area. natural with loads of detail.

Just my 2 cents. Good luck. I think that's a great arm and cartridge combo. It deserves a great cable of your choice...
The two cables were more similar tonally than different. The difference were the purist has much better rfi rejection which may or may not be important to you. Also i felt the purist was more transparent and more natural. Just sounds more like live music.

This purist cable doesnt emphasize mid bass and definately isnt muddy. Sounds like maybe a description of a years ago purist fluid model possibly. My maxx 3's have incredible bass extension, this cable doesnt suffer ANY issues there.

Good luck
