Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not

I reckon it is the one fitted to the PSX 70 because the standalone PUA 7 has a slightly different arm base and I think a connector at the base. This one was sold to me on the premise that it was a PUA 7 but the wires are just hanging out at the bottom.

That's the reason that I need to get it re-wired.

I spoke to a good tech in the UK and he actually recommended kabob's super flex as it's the most flexible wire due to being in silicone.

The alternatives are:
Incognito - silver or gold that goes from the cartridge to the phono plugs 

Is the Ps X arm worth spending getting AN or say Ikeda wire?

it would be worthwhile to have bought the arm that was sold separately, the one supplied on the turntable and a version that resembles the PUA 7 but is not the exact same thing; construction tolerances and bearings have friction different, but perhaps you are already aware of all this.
If it were identical, it would not explain why Samurai electronics on ebay never manages to sell it for some time (a few years)
Now that you have it, fix it without getting too crazy about the choice of wiring IHMO

I bought the arm on the premise that it was a pua 7 after reading into it more I realised it was ps x...😭 that said it’s gonna be a multiple arm mount plinth and I am gonna experiment with a townshend trough

n.p. Put the wiring that looks best for your budget and enjoy it. ;)


I can only hope for you that  tonearm little paid for it.

Oh no - it was less than £200ukp - I primarily got it as I liked the idea of the TTS 8000 having a matching Sony arm. My intention is for it to have an everyday workaday cartridge like a Denon DL103 - the others arm is a brand new Helius Orion that's gonna house a much fancier cartridge - likewise I have a few other arms too.
Seeing as I have the arm - I have to give it a little love
