Phono cable for Thorens TD 320 MK III

I am thinkg of upgrading the interconnect cable of my
Thorens TD 320 MK III turntable. Can something like this be done on this particular TT? (There is no plug for ICs on the TT side, they are fixed). Is it worth the effort and the
money for such an upgrade on this class of a TT?
Any recommendations/opinions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Diavlos, yes to soldering (see X above). However the arm cable does not need to be modded (it has 4 wires & a mesh); you have to thread it through the arm, securing it in the back of the arm. Then you can terminate in a little box (as Xiekitchen), or, using a longer length, terminate with rca's direct. It may pay to get a technician to do this...

I like the Glider.
Good luck!

Sorry I forgot: this can be an expensive undertaking -- between $100-200 is my estimate. This money COULD buy you another arm (used SME maybe?)

Cheers!

Diavlos: what's the arm? Changing the cable on the Thorens supplied one is finicking but well worth the trouble. You'll get the technician to run it through from cartridge straight to pre rca's. V d Hul, Clearaudio are good cable choices -- there are many others.

Good luck!
