Atmasphere,
I have a Phantom and would most definitely like to rid the arm of the connector junctions.
This of course would eliminate the option of swapping arm tubes with differant cartridges and ease of mounting.
My choice of tonearm wire would be Nordost Tyr.
Having used a Valhalla wired VPI tonearm ,the results were incredible what it did in my modest system.
Especially when I carried on with more Nordost wire to my phonostage.
However ,it should be cooked before using for at least 350 to 400 hours.
The bright signature will completely fade away leaving the true voice of your cartridge.
Tonearm wire for sure is a cridical area of your system.
No dought there are other advanced wire designs on the market today that are equal to or better then the Nordost line.
Though it sure works well through out my system.
