Very little difference....captured wins and if you don't need to unplug it, then choose captured. I doubt you could hear a difference.
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... |
Ha, very good one @stereo5! I had my Well Tempered rewired (uninterrupted run), and had nothing but trouble with the wire ends breaking off the RCA plugs. But the single-run silver wire looms I got with my Trans-Fi Terminator and and Helius Omega are built far more robustly, no problems. The uninterrupted run really is the way to go, for purists. Use as short a run as ergonomically possible, and butt your phono stage right up behind the table, the amp’s rear facing the table. Or, on a shelf directly under the table, if length allows. |
