Hi Kirkus,
The question has been asked of Mark Doehmann if he has listened to any MM cartridges through the Cobra and Copperhead arms as none of the dealers believe anyone has actually mounted a modest MM in such exotic and expensive arms?
We are still awaiting the answers but your statements are intriguing indeed.
What do you venture, would be a solution to this problem?

because the side-effect of the twisting is an increase in cable capacitance, which is exactly what we DON'T want for our MM cartridge.This is fascinating for me right at this moment due to the fact that I have just mounted a Garrott P77 MM cartridge to my Continuum Copperhead arm which has balanced input terminations into the Halcro DM10 preamp. The tonearm wiring is fine gold (or copper) uninsulated Litz type wiring (I think), which is very tightly wound together to reject the noise (hum) to which you refer. This seemed to work for LOMC cartridges such as the DV1s and Universe (which only produced a slight hum when the volume was turned up considerably), but fails miserably with the MM which produces an incessant hum at any volume.
