Marantz 6100 - replace rca lines

[PenThis]

In transporting the TT to a local dealer, I uncovered a fault in the TT leads. I can cut out the area where the break is (right channel, positive cable) and solder that back on or upgrade to a much better interconnect.

I did temporarily mount a iConnect interconnet in so that I could get a chance to listen to the new cartridge the dealer installed (a Rega Bias 2), but I'm not all that pleased with this cable. Thus the question.

What type and quality of wire should I be introducing. Shielded or twisted pairs? Wire size, quality, and so on.

Any advice would be most welcome.

Hi Jim, welcome to the Art of Sound.

I'm sure you will get some useful advice from our community, but because we are a community would you kindly pop into the Welcome section and introduce yourself? We don't expect a full CV, but a brief description of your system and music tastes in particular would be helpful so we can get to know you, and vice versa.

Thanks in advance, and enjoy the forum, :)

No worries Jim, we don't mean to be rude or nosey (well, a little bit!) but it just helps to keep the place friendly and far more than just a faceless forum.

Now, then - I'm afraid I'm useless with anything that needs soldering, but I am sure some of our learned members will be able to assist... :)
