    Thanks, found it in google. Actually I'm not sure if they make deliveries outside USA. Some link in amazon or ebay?

    Btw, on my main question, when you rewire the tonearm do you unsplit the cables. (the inner wiring cables)

    From your link I can see two cables, the blue one I assume is supposed to be the internal tonearm one. It looks too thick and stiff though. I can't see from the photo's the connection on the unterminated end.

    I think the blue wire (terminated with a croc-clip) is to earth the metalwork of the arm.

    Thx, the other cable is far too thick, should have been split?

    I've just had a better look at the photo, and the unterminated signal leads are far too large to be used internally within the tone arm. No wonder the free movement of the bearings was being compromised.

    The Kabusa wires as recommended by Bigman look to be perfect for tonearm re-wiring. (As well as being refreshingly free of 'techno-bollocks' as is often spouted by audio cable manufacturers.)

    Absolutely spot on, Barry. I've had Kabusa in 3 arms now and Its absolutely excellent. I'm not getting into what's better etc. It fantastically priced and made by folk who have passion for technics rather than profits on The brain.

    I will try, but if that doesn't work, I'll have to find a way to see is kabusa deliver outside the states.. pretty bad, because these cables were not cheap.
    The blue wire is the ground.
