I will look forward to all the full reviews, after the cables have arrived, had time to settle & been put through their paces a little.
To get back on track. My tonearm cable arrived today so I'll have a quick plug in and listen over the weekend. I'll update you all soon.
Nice one, Andy. It'll be interesting to know what you think :)
Marco.
Just fitted it after extensive remodelling of the 1210 sub plinth, I've had to hack a fair old bit for it to fit but its now in and fitted so a week or two's listening is needed.
Is the cable Yannis sent still hitting the spot, Andy? :)
Anyway, just another update on the position with my own tonearm cables, and also a small clarification...
Yannis has now shipped my 432.5 Phono Litz cable, pictures shown, as below (he sends his apologies for the poorer than usual picture quality, as his usual camera is in for repair):

As you can see, this cable has been fitted with a 'straight-type' Furutech CF-DIN(R) and some solid-silver Eichmann 'Bullet-Plug' RCAs. The new cable should be with me early next week, so I'm looking forward to hearing how it sounds in comparison with the less expensive 428 Phono Litz cable, which I've currently got.
However, just to clarify things... The cable Andy has is in fact an 'SPD-4', which is different from both the 428 and 432.5 Phono Litz, as it is not a Hybrid design. The point of a hybrid is to use pure cores of different materials. Andy's cable is just solid-silver, as apparently that's what he requested. The SPD-4 is a 'special order only' cable, and notably more expensive than the other cables in question.
Therefore, to allow me to compare the differences between a silver litz cable, and just a solid-silver cable, using the same connectors, Yannis is now also sending me an SPD-4, which will be with me in two weeks. It'll therefore be very interesting hearing what that brings to the party, bearing in mind its significant (but not excessive) extra cost.
A full review, therefore, of all three tonearm cables will take place as soon as I have all of them in my possession! :cool:
Marco.
What is the price of that other cable? SPD4?
You can get an Oyaide pure copper cable for £230. These greek cables are not as cheap as you think when you examine it.
