Dear @lohanimal : The reason or reasons is only common sense: in any audio system cables should be as shorter as the system audio items permits.
Through a cm. or inch that the audio signal musts pass exist degradation of that audio signal as longer the cables as worst that degradation.
Capacitance?, who cares. What's important is that the audio signal " trip " to our ears been the shorter we can achieve.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |
I just had the honor of rewiring/repairing two different tonearm cables. In short, patience and thinking ahead pays off. This is delicate work to be sure, yet I am happy with the results. The former installer of both of these cables made poor solder connections, broke headshell clips and more. I didn't want to have to do this job, but there are times when it is just easier to do it yourself. Stripping the fine wire was all about feel. I only lost one fine hair of a conductor during the process. |
Is this correct? 1. this has nothing to do with a factory din or rca connector. - NO IT IS THE RCA END OF THE TONEARM CABLE 2. you need to desolder and resolder INSIDE a phono stage? NOT AT ALL 3. you will get someone competent to do the work HOPEFULLY 4. existing cable is ’inconveniently’ too long, While desoldering/soldering you want to shorten it to ___ (leave yourself enough slack) NO - LET ME EXPLAIN the left and right channel on my phono stage is about 8 inches apart (its a vendetta) the way the tonearm cable was wired was that i could plug into left and right plugs next to one another. I therefore cut back the heatshrink to do this - that's where it went awry...
question: any guidance on length? ...................................... btw, title says cable (singular), in post you said too much on cables (plural). in that case, other cables: they do involve din or rca connections?
YES TONEARM CABLE - LEFT AND RIGHT CHANNEL are these expensive cables? YEP :(
