Sometimes I wonder if it is an overkill like you said.
I have had two Breuer tonearms in the past, both had five monofilament wires, unterminated, as thin as sewing thread without any kind of shield or cover, just five loose wires hanging, unbelievable. That is Breuer's idea of tonearm wiring and I can assure you that I never had a trace of hum. One was mounted on a Lin LP12, the other on a Michell Gyro limited edition.
Bear in mind that all Thorens manuals always make reference to possible hum problems.
