| Tonearm Rewire - Discovery vs VDH Hi Bydlo, IMO you are on the right track. I also put twisted pairs of the AN in Teflon tubing, EACH covered with a copper braid shield, then covered with polyester braid in order to insulate the copper braid and for aesthetics. I suppose you could... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Thanks, Orpheus10, and thanks for the great thread. | |
