    Default Tonearm cables x 2

    Both good quality and carefully constructed with a flexible grounding/earthing arrangement (TT, Pre-amp or TT and Pre-amp).

    The first (Van Damme Tour Grade Classic Pure Silver-Plated OFC; 70cm excluding connectors) is terminated with a standard (female, 5-pin) tonearm connector Switchcraft RCA Phono Plugs).

    The second is a modified QED Qunex 3 30th Anniversary Silver Dual Balanced Audio Interconnect with 5 gold-plated (female) connectors in place of the original RCA Phono Plugs (90cm excluding connectors). The (removable) rubber cable grommet provides a snug fit with standard tonearms.

    Both cables have been tested electrically (continuity, resistance) and in use with various tonearms. Note that the 'stiffness' of both cables makes them unsuitable, IMO, for use with suspended sub-chassis turntables .

    Difficult to price, being DIY, but asking £45.00 o.n.o for the Van Damme and £35.00 o.n.o for the modified QED excluding p&p.

    Default Saturday night bump with price adjustment

    Further research has led me to conclude that the original asking price for these cables was pitched too high. Following prices now include p&p within the U.K.

    70cm Van Damme - £40.00

    90cm modified QED Qunex 3 - £30.00

    Refund, less cost of return postage, if returned within 7 days of receipt in same condition (functional and cosmetic) as sent.

    All offers sent will be considered

    Should be fine with a model V - PM your address/contact details and I'll send you the cable. We can arrange payment once you've checked the fit.
