Tonearm cable recommendations...

I have a Morch DP-6 and looking to find a great tonearm cable to go with it. I have an old VDH MC P-502 cable which sounds really good, but hoping to find something better...all opinions that can help appreciated. The budget is really around 500 USD and these seems real interesting to me...

Origin Live Linear Flow 2
Furutech ag-12

...and this is the one I'd really like to try and I know it is above my budget but opnions welcome (maybe they don't come with straight DIN that I need anyhow)...

Nordost Tyr

...(as I am very happy with my Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cables) and of course any cables you'd recommend.

THANKS!

The Silver Breeze is a great phono cable investment for the price, especially, if you want to upgrade to something without breaking the bank, relatively speaking. I have had great audio results with the Silver Breeze. In addition, I know that if I ever wanted to upgrade to something else, I could sell it pretty easily.

Lot's of information regarding the Silver Breeze and the Hovland Music Groove, which sadly, are out of production, but are less expensive if you could find them used. I am using the Silver Breeze on an SME V so your results might vary.

I have the tyr, discovery and WSS. Tyr used is about $500-600. Discovery is a great cable especially for price approx $400. WSS Kable from germany also excellent as well. They all sound slightly different but not one is drastically superior to another. I did a little shootout and got a bunch of phono cables together up to $4k retail. They all sound a little different but price did not correlate with performance. Some are better shielded. Some are different in capacitance thus require adjustment in loading.

Mørch recommends the TCI Viper which he thinks sounds best of all the cables he has heard. I agree (and it is not terribly expensive, particularly if you make ti yourself).
