I was using the Stereovox XV2 for a long time but recently invested in Karl Shuster's (of Empirical Design) 3rd iteration of the 118 digital coaxial cable and have been very happy with them. His customer service and EQ is also first rate. Find out if he has a return policy.

Best Regards

Just picked up a blue jeans cable 1694A for like $14.50 shipped.  Sounds pretty good and is a good baseline to see how others stack up.  At least you can take your time finding the right deal with this in the rig.  This is my first Blue Jeans Cable and I'm pretty impressed.
