In the end I decided to make a custom RCA manifold for the tonearm cables so I could swap interconnects as and when.
The final design that the manufacturer is suggesting, for optimal sonic performance and visual appeal, looks like this (with 'Viablue' sleeve this time extended only part way along the cable):

Note the dual-ground lead, for grounding the pre-amp and turntable chassis, if necessary, thus offering the flexibility to eliminate earth loops - especially useful when one uses an MC step-up transformer, prone to hum. I think that the cable looks seriously good, and I suspect will also sound superb! :cool:
Marco.
I agree that the dual ground is a good idea :).
I tell you what though, he takes a nice picture - it sure looks 'fancy'!
This looks mighty interesting, Marco. I'm intrigued and would like to compare it with my Dynavector's silver arm cable. I'm not entirely sure about the right-angle entry but I think it will depend on the plug's resting angle, if you see what I mean.
Those superb phono plugs look identical to the ones used by Tellurium Q.
Just recieved an email and got loads of techy info :eyebrows: I've decided to get mine terminated with Eichmann silver bullets :eyebrows: I've not chosen my geometry yet and I also need to decided which connector to use with the V, i'll keep you updated. I've also decided to go for top of the range cable, total spend so far £279 which is still an absolute steel. It should fit in very well with all my other cabling which is solid silver, including balanced interconnects, power cabling, and intrinsic wiring of the V :eyebrows::cool:
I've been tempted by this guys stuff. I may purchase depending on reports.
I suspect that this :cool: is the UK equivalent of the popcorn icon. Watching with interest - hoping that I won't have too many pints downrange by the time the review gets printed.
Well, Jannis has offered to let me compare the cable I've ordered against the 'top-of-the-range' one Andrew's getting (shown here: http://www.back-promo.co.uk/html/423_5phono_litz.html), to see of I can hear any difference, and if I prefer the latter, then to simply keep it, send the other one back, and pay the difference...
You can't say any fairer than that! Top bloke. So that's what I'm going to do :)
Meanwhile, I've decided to go for a straight DIN connector, in order to allow me to use the cable on other people's T/Ts, should they wish to try it, which can't accommodate a right-angled connector. Therefore, this is now the final design:

Perfect for me! You know I'm going to ask you to bring it over on our next session :)Quote:
