It all boils down to my motto: the best connector is no connector. No matter how expensive a connector might be, no matter how elegant it may appear, and no matter what precious metal it is made of, you are better off getting rid of it.
Is a captured good tonearm cable better than a high quality one DIN connection?
I am making a big leap into a $6K Triplaner tonearm that comes with a nice silver captured cable.
I was happy that I was able to eliminate my $4K tonearm cable and would have a direct connection.
But wonder if I should keep using my great tonearm cable with a DIN connection instead. My system is highly resolving and, as we all, want the best sound possible.

Some go one step further and solder the wire right to the cartridge pins... 33% mo-better (from three to two points)...Maybe 25% mo-better ; ) Don't forget the solder join inside the cartridge. https://www.musicdirect.com/Portals/0/Hotcakes/Data/products/000122d8-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/me... |
