    Default Need a cable

    Well, my tonearm rebuild is coming along nicely but I need a cable. I have looked at this one and it would fit the bill:

    My problem is that the cable needs to be two metres long to fit the setup properly. I was wondering is there anyone here in the UK who would supply such a cable?

    I think you have a few people who could perhaps help
    Trans Fi
    Northwest Analogue
    and perhaps Audio Orgami
    Loves anything from Pain of Salvation to Jeff Buckley to Django to Sarasate to Surinder Sandhu to Shawn Lane to Nick Drake to Rush to Beth Hart to Kate Bush to Rodrigo Y Gabriela to The Hellecasters to Dark Sanctury to Ben Harper to Karicus to Dream Theater to Zero Hour to Al DiMeola to Larry Carlton to Derek Trucks to Govt Mule to?

    Humour: One of the few things worth taking seriously

    Not only that but he has also told me he would charge me an extra fiver to make it up to the size I want

    The thing is, fifty quid is not pocket change and some of the quality on ebay is not always "as described". I am not for one second suggesting this is the case with this seller and in fact I think he is very genuine. What I am asking though (not knowing) is 'what are the alternatives' ?
    Besides, if I have a choice I can agonise over the purchase that little bit longer

    Graham,a word of advise.2m a tonearm cable is too much.1m to 1.2m is the normal, max 1.5m,but 2m ?You are asking for trouble,buddy.Remember,the analoque signal is too delicate

    Unless you can remodel my house - that's what I have I am going to carefully measure it and I think I can get away with 1.7 metres. I am (painfully?) aware of VD and it is something that I want to avoid at all costs

    Okay, I got off my arse and measured it and 1.4 metres will do it!
