midfi turntable cable: revealing vs. forgiving

go forgiving and enjoy all the best music.

You have to take into considerations the electrical characteristics of this cable before changing it. Since most phono cartridges are quite sensitive to impedance changes, use a cable that is low in capacitance and very low loss. Sean

Stick with the stock...when you get the upgrade bug...buy a whole new table...from Rega,Project,MusicHall.etc..good luck...

The simplest you can do for that TT is to change the RCA jacks. To significantly improve the sound without having to do readjustments down the line would mean:

1) cooking the whole wiring patch (headshell, tonearm, ICs). If you have a computer tower you can spare you can download the generator program from Marchand Electronics.

2) addressing the speed sensing/correction isue of your table. Your TT's mechanism has to fight line noise and keep the platter turning. Line filtration will help. If you can use a cheaper cryo'ed cord things will get better.

Is the TT worth going through all this trouble? That's not the real issue. You will learn a lot and will be able to reach your own conclusions. Next time someone parrots away one of those flimsy glass and particle board TTs you'll know better...
