I am looking for a high quality tonearm cable for an Origin Live Conqueror tonearm which I bought second hand a while back. Will be partnering a Garrard 401, Decware ZP3 phono stage and probably Audio Note Iq3 cartridge.
Budget is maximum £350 for a 0.75m length.
Many thanks in advance.

I use Y Tomme cables in Aberystwyth, others on here make them too.

You can find Yannis on eBay.

+1 for Yannis Tome cables - I'm using his litz tonearm cable and 423.5phono-litz interconnect between headamp and preamp - very impressed

For a moving magnet cartridge, it's generally a good thing to have a cable that's as low capacitance as possible, otherwise things can become a tad shrill, so Litz cables that are inherently higher capacitance might be problematic. My recommendation would be the Black Rhodium Stylus cable which is only 85pF for the standard length of 1.3m, but that aside it's nicely made and more importantly sounds very good indeed. I am not totally impartial, because I sell it, but it is genuinely a very fine product.

Yes, he sells on eBay too, and maybe easier to contact that way, great guy. Just select what you want, and he will custom make to length, plugs etc.
