Kimber, AudioQuest, and Harmonic Technology all offer tonearm cables in 2M lengths, indicating that the capacitance is low enough to work over a 2M length. Kimber publishes its specs, and most of its interconnects are only about 50 pF for a meter pair, so 2M would still be in the ideal range for MM carts that want to see about 100-200 pF.
Is there a maximum length for tonearm wiring?
In other words, the wiring that leaves my rega rb700 tonearm and plugs into my pre-amp is about 1 meter long. I would like to move the turntable further away from the pre-amp which would require wiring about 2 meters long. Is this less than ideal to increase the length of the wires to 2 meters? Would I lose part of the signal by increasing the wire length? Thanks for the help. George.

What about MC cartridges which is what I use? As I indicated above, load capacitance is normally insignicant for moving coil cartridges: http://www.hagtech.com/loading.html Regards, -- Al |
