Silver Audio "Silver Breeze"

I've tried five or six different (mostly well-cooked) phono cables, ranging from inexpensive DIY silver to the $900 Nordost Quattro, and the Silver Audio was hands-down the best of the bunch in my system. The stock Morch cable was awful, though I understand that the current version is a little better.

I agree that the phono lead is frequently overlooked. A TT/arm/cart setup is only as good as its weakest link and the buck stops here more often than not. Taking it a bit further, I'd guess that something like two out of every three systems I've heard had a serious cable-related bottleneck somewhere.

BTW, suspended TT users; don't forget to carefully dress that phono lead. I've seen some great suspensions virtually crippled by a poorly placed phono cable. Ideally, it shouldn't touch anything on its run from the arm base to the phono stage, while at the same time allowing a wide berth around any intervening power cords.
