Solid core phono interconnect - Recommend Please

Hi,
I am looking for a high quality phono interconnect (RCA-RCA) preferably solid core. Currently I use ASI Liveline which is very detailed and transparent but it is not very fluid. The only reason I am looking for a solid core is because I find them more transparent than typical multi-strand cables. A good solid core copper interconnect should get me the flow and transparency I guess. Kindly recommend some. It need not be shielded because I dont live in the city area. It should be neutral, fluid and dynamic.

zd542, sorry I did not mention that I already use a Supercap power supply with my Naim Superline phonostage. All Naim phonostages need an external psu to boot, they do not have any power supply internally.

Having said that, which particular AQ IC would you recommend ?

Al, thanks for that bit of info. I do have couple of shielded ICs. The VDH MC501 and Mogami 2549. Both sound very smooth and musical but lack resolution and transparency. Is it true that shielded cable rob some amount of life and speed from the music ?

Thanks guys, I will check out with Audio Origami and Herron. In fact I think it may not be a bad idea to get a cable made out of Cardas tonearm cable which is one of the upgrades suggested for Rega tonearms.

Moonglum, I have never owned a TW but have heard on many occasions. It is nice but not as natural and fluid as a Verdier.
