I use the cable that comes with it. I believe it is made by Van den Hul and according to ddk has the most natural sound. Iirc it comes in copper or silver. The Cooper is what David recommends
If it were me I would PM David and get his recommendation. Ever since I bought the 3012R I have used my other arm and cartridge perhaps only 5% of the time. IIRC David prefers the stock copper (van den Hul I think) not silver cable that typically was supplied with the armThe arm I purchased did not come with a cable so I need to find something to use. Normally I wouldn't replace it.

I think dminches is talking about what kind of phono cable to use not the internal tonearm wire.

The van den hul D-501 Hybrid seems like a worthy option. Silver plated copper.
The above ebay link I provided is the wire that David K recommended if I wanted a pure copper cable.

Before you commit to a phono cable, you may want to read Fremer’s comments about the D-501, in comparison to other phono cables in this review.

Which direction does the cable run? That is, on which end do the multiple ground wire connectors go, tonearm or preamp?
