Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire.
ClearAudio uses the thinnest tonearm wire imaginable. I have had to situations were I have broken the very delicate wires. I would like to replace the wire with something more secure but don’t want mess it up. Has anybody re-wired a Clearaudio tonearm before? It took almost a year to get it back from Clearaudio last time to have it fixed. I don’t want to deal with this anymore and I’m willing to sacrifice a little sonically for this headache to go away.
VAS, Steve Leong and his son Ray are terrific people, and do excellent work. I'm lucky enough to live 35 minutes from their shop. They re-wired my tonearm with his favorite wire which is sturdier than the litz wire it came with. No way to know for sure, but the sturdier wire sounded the same as the esoteric litz wire to me when I got it back. Good advice, check if they work on that arm, I imagine yes, |
LITZ WIRE FUN Tonearm Arrives, I had no idea what Litz Wire was. silk covered litz, 37 tiny strands each. tag each wire with colored tape Strip Silk Covering, pet the silk in vertical movements, Silver Solder to Junction Box
