    Will you be using a tag-strip to join the wires exiting the arm tube to a pair of screened coaxial cables terminating in phono plugs? If so, then I can't see anything wrong with your proposal.

    Will you be using a separate wire to earth the arm tube?

    No, the idea was to simply run 4 runs of unscreened silver litz from down the shaft of the arm tube and simply terminate onto the RCA's. I've seen screened cable on the bay for about £8 per meter. I supposed I could solder the litz onto screened cable but I wanted a single continuous run I didnt really want a load of solder connections. I must admit I did forgot about the earth wire, what would you suggest, soldering something from 2nd (from the left) connection and then terminating in an earthing spade, I take it that the earth wire would also go down the shaft of the arm tube.
