As a Cello owner i feel like kicking in some experiences i have.
The Big mistake that Mr Cello made was to adopt for the Fischer 104 connector.
The 104 can only cope with cables of up to 8 mm dia.
The 105 can do up to 15 mm, and this type should have been the choice.
now Mr Cello was not know for his flexibility, and so he thought that every Cello owner should/would buy the Cello strings..
The ones that try real cables between their Cello amps know differently.. the strings sound like crap.
And have a problem with those darm Fischer connectors.
The Fischer connector itself is a fine piece of Swiss craftsmanship, mind you.
I replaced both my Encore and AudioSuite pre-amp with Neutrik XLR connectors, and i admit that it gave me thoughts firstly.
after having modified both preamps i can say with confidence that the Neutriks sound better than the Fischers.
I know there may be purists which may not want to believe this, but i have the experience.
The pin 1,2,3 have the same 1,2,3 on the Neutriks.
if you want more detailed information on the modification and the wire codes drop me an email.
The Duet 350 may be very easily converted to XLR connectors there is room to spare.
keep the vinyl spinning !
