TT cables, Need help


Need advice or suggestions on IC's for my Pro-ject RPM1 turntable. Also, should cables going from TT to phono stage be the same as going from the phono stage to amp be the same?
Budget is $150 for 1m length.

Audioquest Jaguar. The shielding is exceptional, and the DBS system makes break in take a lot less time than the average cable. It also keeps the cable broken in for longer periods of time in between uses. SQ is extremely good for the price. I have other cables that are 3x to 4x more expensive and the Jaguar is just as good, and even better in some areas. (Going by retail prices)
I recommend them because I use the same cables myself, in the same application. My VPI has the same type of RCA block as the OP's TT. I have many other cables, but I like the AQ's best. The only difference, is that depending on the phono pre, I sometimes use the AQ Cheetah between my TT and phono pre only. Its same cable as the Jaguar, but silver. I didn't mention it because you probably cant find one for $150. Also, it doesn't always sound better, so there's some risk involved. Not so with the Jaguar. I don't think I could get that cable to sound bad if I tried. If you can't demo, its a very safe choice.
