Cable is certainly important no question about that. And that means cable everywhere including the wires inside components. I recently replaced the Cardas wiring inside my Siggwan tonearm with 1877 Phono wire. The new wire is still breaking in but so far it is a nice improvement over the Cardas. I had previously changed the RCA plugs on the tonearm wires from KLE Copper Harmony to KLE Absolute silver plugs. The RCA connector change alone was an important upgrade, but the wiring is equally important.
