non-locking rca's for analyis plus interconnects.

Just measure the diameter and see if they'll fit. The engineering drawings are available online. Here's a link: http://www.partsconnexion.com/prod_pdf/vampire_67331.pdf The link address says it's for a Vampire connector, but the drawing is obviously the Xhadow.

Thanks, photon46. I've seen that diagram and I told a+ in my email that the max diameter that the xhadow can accommodate is 7mm (according to that diagram). Yet, no definitive answer from them. I don't have calipers, but when I eyeball it on a straight ruler I get ~7mm for the cable's diameter. Too close to call? I know 9mm will work since that's the diameter of the wbt's, according to their data sheet.

But Ct0517 has given me another idea that I might pursue instead: a continuous run of tonearm cable from headshell to phonostage, running external to arm. Has anyone tried this for a pivot arm?

I would still like to have a definitive answer to my original question.

You can also shave the exterior of a cable jacket with a razor knife to get a too snug cable to fit into a barrel of the same diameter. You don't have to remove very much material. I've done it and it's not difficult, just have to take your time.

That's a good idea, photon46. I'll pass that along to the re-terminator should I go that direction. I wish I had the skills to do it myself, but alas...
