    Thanks guys, the cable received is a work of art !!

    The request for a bespoke version of his 423.5Plus, basically to match the plugs configuration of the stock cable for my Techincs EPA-250 tonearm / its EPA-500 armbase.

    I am awaiting a laminated protractor for my arm, from my good friend and tech Don, Angus-Phonomac.

    Once that arrives, i'm good to go re: set-up and at long last evaluating the SP-10 with this gorgeous tonearm cable at that critical point between, tonearm and amp.

    Unfortunately I wont be able to evaluate the improved 423.5Plus against the 423.5 I had with my heavily modded SL1210 MK5g, but that was a very excellent cable so I know what to expect.

    The 423.5Plus's improvements will be subtle, I suspect but non the less, very welcome.

    Plugs are Eichmann KLEI Absolute Harmony, I'm a BIG fan of KLEI silver bullet type plugs.

    I believe that Yannis has taken shielding and protection from EMI/RFI and such nasties to another level with the Plus, which I'm sure can only be of great benefit, absolutely and especially where tonearm cables, in relation to cartridges are concerned.

    The more &R#p kept out, the purer/ more faithful the reproduction ......

    Anyway, some pics of Yannis's superb! handy work and next to the stock Technics cable.

    Apologies for the poor light. The attention to detail of the 423.5Plus, in the flesh is a delight

    Indeed, looks great! Given what it's replaced, I suspect that the improvements might be a little more than subtle, Rob... Enjoy!
