Phono cable for 100?


Is there any way to get a decent step-up phono cable from the ones the manufacturers include with the tone arm without spending an arm and a leg? I have an 22 year old Micro Seiki arm with the original phono cable. Any suggestions?

I replaced the stock cable on my Linn Ittok with one made from the Sakura Systems OTA cable kit (see www.sakurasystems.com and the discussion group under this forum).

A 3' run with a Van den Hul 90 degree din plug cost me slightly less than $80. You'll have to find someone who has
some of this cable to spare - unless you want to buy the complete kit of 50 meters and rewire your entire system.
It's well worth doing.

Compared to the stock Linn cable there's much more micro-detail, air around instruments and slam. I tried the original cable last week and was shocked at the difference.

Happy spinning,
