Make your own from Mogami 2534 (starquad) or 2549 (standard balanced)Neglex OFC microphone cable with something like Canare F10 RCA's.

The F10's cost about $14 for a set of 4, and the bulk cable costs between $0.60 and $1.00/ft, depending on which version you want. Materials for a 6 foot pair would cost you only $25 or so.

Compared to the cost of some boutique cables, you can probably afford to buy a soldering iron, silver solder, wire strippers, and some CD's with the amount you would save by building your own.

Second the blue jeans cable recommendation. There was another thread circulating a few weeks ago on BJC love.

Another Blue Jean nod after making my first purchase from them this week. I bought 10 guage speaker cables that were inexpensive and fantastic and then one pair of their "house" RCA ICs. They are extremely well-made and solid and work well for not too much $.

I see the BJC 'fanbase' has arrived.

Maybe we should find out his budget and other equipment before recommending a cable?

EDIT: FWIW, I didn't care for my DIY Mogami 2534 with LOK connectors OR the Canare Starquad with HGA connectors when used on a Glite w/ DPS (which is pretty similar to the GS-1) when used with Grado 225s. WAAAAYYYYYY too thin sounding.

Yeah. What's your price range. While BJC might be a decent sweet spot its not like you can't do bette rif you throw more money at the problem.

The best ICs I've ever heard, if cost is no object are K-Works Clearhearts. The most reasonably priced/best value are Signal Cable Silver Resolution Refrence ICs.

Hrmm, interesting I've found the Silver Resolution to sound quite thin myself. At their non-introductory price I'd probably rather go with [AK]Zip ICs or Oritek X-1s.

Again, recommending Blue Jeans Cable.

Stellar cable for a great price - Sure, there's better, but BJC holds the crown as the most durable, and the most cost-effective in my books.

They're not a Belden Certified Assembler for nothing.
