Which tonearm cable?


Hi guys
I have recently upgraded my Rega Planar 2 with the RB 303 Tonearm, Dynavector 10x5 MC Cartridge, New Sub Platter assembly from Groovetracer and Rega 24V Motor upgrade.

I want to improve it even further and wish to completely upgrade the tonearm cable. There is a lot of BS around about the true audio benefits of upgraded cabling, with many irresponsible and inaccurate claims being made about the audible difference that these upgrades make.
To avoid being duped into spending unheard of $ on unnecessary improvements, I would like to hear from other vinyl music lovers who have made the effort to upgrade their cables and are happy with the outcome.
What do you guys recommend?

I am not sure if I would ever go with the option suggested by Stanwal. An entirely unshielded tonearm cable is a big risk (although it may end up performing perfectly fine in certain environments).
There are quite a few well made cables on ebay at very good prices ($80-&120). Most of them actually use Canare and Mogami mic/balanced cables and both of them are excellent entry level performers. The same exactly cables are often dressed with an outer sleeve and branded sell for double the price.
Having said the above, I would be very interested in finding a well priced pure silver cable with a shield.
