I also bought a Sweetcome Cable (on eBay) for a Grace Arm.Around $100 build quality and performance were very satisfying.As advertised and quick delivery.
Best budget DIN phono cable? Too many to choose
I'm thinking of getting another KAB SL-1200 and might just have Kevin do the Cardas DIN connector as part of the tonearm rewire.
I'd need a right-angle Cardas DIN terminated cable and have looked at one available on E-Bay, one from Ultimate Cables in Canada, another from Extremephono, and, of course, there's always Signal Cable's Silver Resolution series too:
- E-Bay/SLC Silver Tonearm Cable: 26-guage silver plated OFC with Eichman Bullets - $199
- Ultimate Cable Silver Series C4 Tonearm Cable: 22-guage 50% 99.999 pure silver and 50% 99.999% oxygen free copper coated in Teflon with Neutrik RCAs - $145
- Extremephono Crimson: doesn't specify materials or guage other than it's copper (big help...). It appears to be a Jelco JAC-502 that Extremephono is importing (LP Gear also sells this cable as the LP Gear Soar T3). They emphasize that it's designed specifically for use with MC carts - which may work well with my Dyna 20XL. Proprietary DIN and RCAs - $159
- Signal Cable Silver Resolution Reference Phono/Tonearm Cable: 24-guage 5N multi-strand pure silver with Eichman Silver Bullets - $229
My gut says just go with Frank's Silver Resolution cable, but the cheapskate in me says try the Ultimate Cable C4 and save $85!
Any thoughts?
