Internal Tonearm rewire

[Rare Bird]

I'm looking for a high grade, very flexable & very thin (33awg) cable, i was wanting Cardas but any more recommendations?

There really are only 3 options if you want wire rather than a loom. Cardas, Audio Note and Kondo. Other than that there are various kits for standard arms from the usual rega-mod suspects.

The Cardas is probably the most practical solution but you need to have a 'solder pot' to really be able to use it, otherwise removing the lacquer is a cluster F_ck.

+1 on the Cardas - hard to beat for the money.

Forgot to mention the Clearaudio Sixstream or Quint.

Speak to J7 at Audio Origami he has several options available for the budding tonearm tweeker. :)

Litz silver sounds nice on MC cart. Litz copper is another slightly easier to work option. Depends on the sound you are after.

The copper litz cable that Trans-Fi supply is ridiculously good for the money and MUCH easier than the Cardas stuff to work with

+1 for Litz. I did my SME 3009 in it, very easy to work with:)

Well, fi you are looking for Pure silver Litz, here is a suggestion:

However the description of the wire here is slightly wrong. it is 34AWG wire not a 3x34Awg. It is an excellent product and comes at a very good price compared to other silver litz I know.

Or you may want to consider some silver plated (32 or 34 AWG). There is this here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-feet-34-AWG-Stranded-Silver-Teflon-Wire-Black-/380394680923?pt=US_Audio_Cables_Adapters&hash=item58914a325b

Not very keen on silver plated copper but I have tried it and it works well.

Cardas is quite good. Very difficult to solder (remove the enamel without burning the fine wires). It gives a nice round sound but I find that it hides much of the detail.

Has anyone tried solid silver wire like this?

wouldn't it be too stiff for a tonearm. Even if it is a 34AWG?
