I'm looking for a DIN to RCA cable to suit a Jelco tonearm. I have already got a spare Linn standard cable but I'm looking for something a bit better for my new Jelco SA-750D arm. Have you got anything suitable?

The timestep ultra red worked very well for me.

Dubster68 has just replaced his Jelco Tonearm cable with a SPOTFIRE tonearm cable. I'm sure he'd share his opinion on the differences, if you ask him.Originally Posted by rodgerdodger15

Thanks for the replies from both of you. I do have a nice looking cable poking out of the back of a deck with an AT1120 arm on it but I don't know if a compatible cable lies within and the deck would be quite difficult to dismantle as the arm has an oil damping reservoir as far as I know. I may have a go at this in a day or two if no decent offer comes along.

Good point. Probably up to about £50. You can get cables on ebay from about £35 but if there is something better pre-owned I'd be interested.

Hi Roger
I have just bought one of Ollies Spotfire cables and they are a very different sound to the Jelco one it replaced. I aways took the cable thing with a pinch of salt as if a cable is of good construction it should work ok. Anyway the Spotfire has a very clean precise sound and I would say its worth the money at not a great expense compared to some cables out there. The construction is up there with the best and sounds amazing for the price.

You won't get much better than the Yannis Tome cables at any price point.
