Great choice. Am sure you will pleased.
Am running 0.5m Kimber Silver Streaks from the junction box on the TT to my phono preamp and WW Silver 7s from the phono preamp to the Cary SLI-80. I am going to do some trading around between the Sil 7s and Gold 7s and the Sil Streaks this winter to find the best combo. Will surprise me to find a big difference, but you never know. My feeling is with the small signal provided by the cartridge the quietest IC is the best, and that is why I run silver rather than copper between the cartridge and the phono input.
