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.
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 $.
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.
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.
