Can you get a larger clip and raise the table? I have done this with my Linn. Many ways of doing this; cheapest is probably using something like the Mapleshade rubber/composite squares; similar but cheaper ones on ebay etc. My new cables are also larger and my tech friend had a larger clip in his seemingly endless parts bin. I ran into a completely different problem; I just got a Riggle VTA adjustor and using the clip pushed the arm up above the board as it is not fastened to the board. I am using a very old Russ Andrews 3 legged Torlite stand so I can let my cables hang straight down; hope this doesn't mess up the suspension too much. I have switched to a Sole sub chassis which is much heavier that the stock one so that should help.
LP12 pickup wires affect suspension??
I have an LP12 with Grace 707 tonearm.
My wires and plug to the arm went south.
I ordered a new plug very nicely made and soldered onto "Cardas cable" from Sweetcome audio on fleaBay.
Sweetcome did a nice job on the cabling/plug...but I find with the heavier cable that now has to drop through the tonearm hole in the baseboard of the deck, there does not seem to be any way to relieve the weight off the suspension.
In the LP12 setup manual, they talk about how to terminate the wires from the tonearm. This would not be possible in my case, they are just too fat.
Has anyone else run into this?
Any ideas on how to deal with the tonearm cable weight and how it affects the suspension?
I am about ready to break out the silver wire and soldering pen to create my own leads. The sound from the Sweetcome setup is nice, but the LP12 being so picky about getting the "bounce test" just right, I must come up with a way to compensate for the offset in weight/travel.
