Are you saying the RCA jacks are not marked for left or right channel? Well the easy thing to do would be to test continuity up to the actual cartridge connections, or the easier thing would be to compare a vinyl that you have also on CD and see if the channels sound reversed between the two sources or not. If you have the CD player connected right! Then mark the dang thing so you don't forget.
Captive turntable interconnects; should I modify??
Hi. I came across a NOS Denon DP47f turntable from the 80's. Purchased new in Japan by a serviceman & never opened until I got it. A lot to like; well-built, rosewood base, mint, never used condition. I installed a new Ortophon Samba low-output MC cartridge, and run it through a Perreaux SXVI phono preamp. I have nothing to compare it to, but it sounds wonderful in my system. One thing I don't like is the cheap-looking captive interconnects with "Radio Shack" style RCA connections. Will I realize a noticible sonic improvement by installing nice RCA connections on the rear plate and using a nice pair of interconnects? Another option is to hard-wire a relatively thin pair of interconnects directly to the turntable. Advice please. Thanks.
