Hi!
I found Magnan cable, same as in SME IV.Vi, being the best in my SME V.
I use MC-cartridge so I can´t tell for others.
Had the arm rewired at SME with latest silver version, didn´t like it.
Magnan I found well balanced over whole spektra and no fatigue in listening.
If you have to do it yourself, bevare.
Cable is thin like hair and can easily break if not carefull. It´s a hassle to get it through arm, it will bend and twist easily. I had to pull it through a thin tube of silicion and then pull tube through arm.
Then I made shure there was enough of cable sticking out of tube at headshell, at the same time holding cable with your fingers and pulling tube carefully backwards from the armbase until it was free from the cable. Voila!
Now the next tricky bit was to get rid of insulating layer from the 5 leads at soldering ends. You have to use a very fine emery cloth an rub carefully, propably easier if you use magnifying glass as well. You will have difficulty if you try burn layer of with soldering iron.
Sounds interesting, good luck!
If not, you can always send arm to one of the specialists together with your cable.
