I love the Cardas Golden Ref but that can be pricey. They make a version for the Linn for $799 for 1.5 meters. Cardas suggested Brooks Berdan may have a lot of experience with the Linn and suggested I contact them if I was in California for info. Another favorite is to buy the Cardas shielded interconnect from a place like Michael Percy, use 2, one per channel. I use that on my Linn now with an ARO and have been very happy with it. You are somewhat limitied because many of the heavier wires cant be used with the Linn. It bogs down the suspension. My suggestion would be to not play with the wires as much. Find a cartridge that has synergy with the arm and you will do fine. I had no probelm with the Linn cable that comes with the arm.
