I would estimate $100-150 for the labor alone. The cost of cable and connectors can vary all over the map.
I replaced the Cardas wire and KLE plugs on my Analog Instruments Siggwan arm with ZavFino 1877Phono copper Litz wire. By that time I had already replaced the KLE Harmony plugs with KLE Absolute so I used the same Absolute plugs on the new wire.
I thought the 1877Phono wire was a rather modest upgrade from the Cardas. I ended up replacing it with a Discovery cable that was even better. It’s been too long for me to recall the details but I remember especially liking the dynamics with Discovery.
With the Discovery I followed Joe Dephillips’ advice not to use a continuous run of his tonearm wire but rather have the tonearm wires hand off to his Plus 4 interconnect a few inches out of the arm. I also used his recommended locking RCA plugs.
