hi @oldhvymec
I read/feared tales of ideal length for tonearm cables - something to do with capacitance
thanks

Dear @millercarbon @czarivey 1. Cables are coiled up and messy 2. Nothing to do with my understanding Re capacitance - that was my question - does shortening cable cause any such issue in the forums experience 3 I asked the forum to ‘do the mathematics’ coz i do not have the expertise
This problem came up because I had to try and unpick the end of a tonearm wire so there was sufficient space between left and right channel physically because of the layout on my phono stage. One channel works and the other one doesn’t I am therefore looking to Re-terminate at a shorter length and getting someone more dexterous to do the work. Btw I previously got manufacturer to resolve this and it didn’t work… |
Is this correct? 1. this has nothing to do with a factory din or rca connector. - NO IT IS THE RCA END OF THE TONEARM CABLE 2. you need to desolder and resolder INSIDE a phono stage? NOT AT ALL 3. you will get someone competent to do the work HOPEFULLY 4. existing cable is ’inconveniently’ too long, While desoldering/soldering you want to shorten it to ___ (leave yourself enough slack) NO - LET ME EXPLAIN the left and right channel on my phono stage is about 8 inches apart (its a vendetta) the way the tonearm cable was wired was that i could plug into left and right plugs next to one another. I therefore cut back the heatshrink to do this - that's where it went awry...
question: any guidance on length? ...................................... btw, title says cable (singular), in post you said too much on cables (plural). in that case, other cables: they do involve din or rca connections?
YES TONEARM CABLE - LEFT AND RIGHT CHANNEL are these expensive cables? YEP :(
