Michell Tecnoarm

He got back to me already - $149 for the Cardas internal wire sounds pretty reasonable to me. It's quite a bit more to go to the full Incognito kit.

I wonder if there would be an issue with doing the cardas internal copper wire hooking up to the standard external cable?

I'm not sure if the silver wire extends through the external cabling or not.

Michell advertises the wire as a continuos run from the cartridge clips to the rca terminals so I would assume the silver wire does run through the external cabling.

I have a Michell Tecnoarm tracking a Dynavector 10x5 on a Michell Gyro SE turntable (black)- to me the sound quality is neutral but detailed, but some might call that bright, so I guess it's all a little bit subjective. Perhaps adjust tracking weight and anti skate bias to see if it improves the sound balance.
