Tonearm cable for SME-V

Archived from groups: rec.audio.high-end (More info?)

Can anyone recomend a good, moderately priced phono cable for this tonearm.
I am not too experienced with this sort of thing but the original van den
hul connector is apparently bad, causing a hum. Turntable is a sota nova.
Thanks!

If mere cable makes such a "huge" difference in sound quality, why would
someone want or need a "lifetime" warranty? We know it's just a matter
of time (the interval between issues of TAS or Stereophile) before a new
cable that "blows away" the former will be discovered and reported on.
In such an environment who in their right mind would want to keep a
cable more than a year, or so? I mean, what self respecting audiophile
wants last years cable sullying their music?
