In a related matter.....In looking for a new phono amp, I've noticed something: the location of their input jacks seems to be chosen for reasons of circuit board layout rather than of where the best location ergonomically is. I have my phono amp directly under my table, and the best place for the input jacks of an amp so located is obviously on the far left end of the rear panel (looking at the panel from the rear). So located, the arm wires need be only long enough to reach down to the jacks on the next shelf. Very few phono amps have their jacks in that location. The EAR 868, for instance, has it's on the far right of the rear panel, which is great if the amp is placed to the right of the table (looking at them from the front). All the ARC's I've seen have theirs exactly where I want them---on the far left of the panel (again, looking from the rear).
Tonearm wiring termination---DIN, or RCA jacks?
I'm about to get a tonearm rewired, and am curious how ya'll feel about the question of whether 'tis better to terminate the arm's internal wire into a DIN connector at the bottom of the arm shaft, or into RCA jacks mounted in a block such as Cardas offers, into which RCA cables are inserted.
