Audioorigami Johnnie offers 3 types for internal rewire of an Ittok and refers to the effect of such a rewire as being "godlike" :
Cardas copper Litz
AudioNote Silver Fairy wire (is this for real ?)
Kondo Silver Fairy

Anyone got anything to say about possible differences ?

(FYI, I don´t mind the odd bottle of plonk but am not capable of deciding whether the grapes came from the north side of the vineyard or not - likewise my lugs.)

Sorry,
My mistake -That Cardas is 33 ga not LITZ

I have had the armwands on my Audiocraft rewired by J7 with the Kondo silver. I have been pleased with the results. Take a look here -

I have used valve phono stages for quite few years now and the last couple of tonearms have all had silver wiring, I have not had any poor results at all, or felt that something has been missing. I would not have any problems with silver tonearm wiring in the future.
Though it is still a very personal thing.
As an after thought are you still looking for a phono cable to loan. I have one you could borrow if you wish. It is I beleive a none standard RA phono from his top KS range of cable and understand it was not readily available, this is quite an oldish cable but very servicable.

I had my Ittok LV11 rewired by j7 with Cardas 33ga copper wire internally and the external cable replaced with one of his and it does perform really well. Maybe the Ittok would be a good candidate for the 103 ?
