Advice on Phono Cables for VPI TT?


Any experience out there for low level phono cables for use on a VPI Aries or TNT? I understand that VPI has a new phono cable made of the same JMW wire. They also speak highly of Kimber TAK copper. Right now I'm temporarily using FMS Zero, with Audio Magic Spellcaster II off and on. I've heard that line level ICs are not really intended for phono, and that I'd get better results with a dedicated phono cable. The JMW doesn't use a DIN connector, so I'd have to order RCA to RCA from either VPI or Kimber. Any advice or recommendations welcome. Thanks.

Interesting that Findoc and Metaphysics have both found success with silver. I had a conversation with Harry Weisfield at the Stereophile show on this very subject and he urged me to stay away from silver cable on my (not yet delivered) Aries/JMW. Perhaps there are other aspects to your systems that are being compensated for or just being complemented by silver that wouldn't necessary apply to other systems?
I too, am all tube: SF Line 1, Anthem Pre1P, Audiovalve Challengers (into Kharma Ceramique 2.1) Since I have access to a new set of XLO Signatures, that's what I'll be trying first, although I suppose I will try something in silver as well. BTW, I'm putting a Clearaudio Victory Gold on the JMW. Anyone have any experience with this combo?
