Have you considered forum sponsor Whiplash Audio? They have one for $35 that looks pretty nice.

Ultra Copper LOD

There are also quite a few DIY guys on the forum who will make you one. Lil' Knight seems to do some good work from comments I have read, and there others also. Some of these guys could probably hit whatever price range you want (within reason).

I also am quite pleased with the personal touch Craig (at Whiplash) adds to contact w/ his customers. I would recommend him to anyone.

On the topic of cables, as always it is subjective. Always a personal choice. It doesn't matter even if it is all in one's head.

As always cable topics seem to be endless.

It's a finer texture than cotton, linen or wool. And you know how unfashionable synthetics are. Though you do have to have silk dry cleaned, which is somewhat impractical.
