.... I should add I previously used a Triplanar tonearm with straight through Cardas copper wire. My new (pre-owned) tonearm has silver wire internally. The cartridge is a Decca SC4E moving iron with output around 5mv into a valve (tube) phono stage. I am currently using a copper Zavfino "Majestic" tonearm cable, yet today, I compared a version of this cable equipped with RCA phono plugs at both ends, with Auditorium 23 IC, and the latter was more invitingly open, rich, and airy.
Auditorium 23 phono cable for tonearm base to preamplifier connection ?
Is anyone using Auditorium 23 phono cable for their tonearm and if so do you find it as open, and musically rich in this part of the system as for A23 inter-connect ? I am looking for cable with a 5 pin female plug to connect with the tonearm base and RCA phono plugs opposite. I use Auditorium 23 IC and speaker cable in a system that sounds very good with copper, but tips toward lean and unsatisfying with silver. If there are no users of A23 phono tonearm cable, which made up pure copper (no silver) phono cable do you enjoy that will relay spatial magic, air and weight from LP grooves?
