Could this be a 'giant-killing' tonearm cable?

[kininigin]

I really didn't know what to expect when the cable was subjected to the full scrutiny of Martin's uber-revealing and very carefully assembled high-end system.

Marco.

So would this cable be wasted on anything less than ''uber-revealing''?

I guess it would allow you to hear the best from the rest of the chain if they are upto it?

Have i just answered my own question?

Doubt it.
The difference was *large*
I've got a Naim Nait 2 and some Kans we could try it on when Marco comes to my place.
Could even plug it into an Arcam Amp and TDL speakers.
The answer may be more than academic

That would be interesting to see the results,in a more 'real world' system as it were.
I'm not in the market for a new cable at the moment anyway,just curious!

I don't think so. These changes are likely to come through on any decent system.

I've got a variety of upgraded and not used kit I really should sell.
Would be useful to test out particular bits like this.

The very bottom end is probably a RAVE amp and speakers, then the Arcam and TDLs.
Have a Nait 2, 3, Kans and Saras and other bits

The cable wont be wasted on your system, flog some of your stuff and buy one, you can always sell it on.

My main system can't take it !
Not as it stands anyway.
Naim Aro / LP12
but I'm going to have a look underneath again to see if it might........

If you have an Aro then you cannot use this cable (as it is) - simple as that I'm afraid. I have an Aro, I have full technical drawings for the Aro, I've set them up loads - in short, I know the Aro very well. If you send the Aro wiring loom to this cable chap he may well be able to custom fit the small multi-pin Aro connector to his cable - I don't know. If you d follow this course I would make sure that the end cable is not more rigid than the standard Aro cable as this would make dressing of the cable and suspension setup on the LP12 a right royal PITA.

Thanks. Saves me looking.
I'll concentrate on doing easy things

MMMmmmm that makes for an interesting comparison. I have a LP12 as well, its been stuffed in the attic for the last 2 years. You would probably notice differing outcomes from Yannis's cable on a belt driven system when compared to DD (just another variable to throw into the mix!). It would be nice to see how the cable effects the sonics of a LP12, now it looks like we'll never know.
