Tonearm cable recommendations...

The VDH MC P-502 is the 'yuk-iest' tonearm cable I ever heard! Why SME persists in supplying them with their best tonearms I will never understand!

Had I not scored an amazing deal on a Purist Venustas a few years ago, the Silver Breeze is the worst kept secret for under a grand:

(scroll to the bottom of the page) Max will usually be able to send you one to audition in your own system and hopefully against others mentioned above ;--)

check the origin live cable. I think its the best.

Thanks for your input - appreciated!

I read a review in Stereophile comparing tonearm cables and am now interested in Synergistic Research Tricon and Hovland new Music Groove 2 (very hard to find info on these - are these still available)...comments please...

I'm also looking for a tonearm cable for my SME V. What I am trying to do is, choose a cable specifically designed for tonearm use. I believe not all the cables ended DIN at one side are tonearm cables. I'm not knowledgeable about that topics, inductance, load etc all seem alien to me but, I believe even MM signals and MC signals should handled differently (please correct me if I'm wrong). So when I don't see any tiny bit of information at manufacturer homepages, I tend to eliminate that one.

From what I read Silver Breeze and Hovland are tonearm specific manufacturers. Furutech AG-12 also seem to be another one. I trust Cardas line, but can not see an information either.

The Silver Breeze is a great phono cable investment for the price, especially, if you want to upgrade to something without breaking the bank, relatively speaking. I have had great audio results with the Silver Breeze. In addition, I know that if I ever wanted to upgrade to something else, I could sell it pretty easily.

Lot's of information regarding the Silver Breeze and the Hovland Music Groove, which sadly, are out of production, but are less expensive if you could find them used. I am using the Silver Breeze on an SME V so your results might vary.
