Replacing stock tonearm cable


It has been suggested that I replace the stock tonearm cable that comes with the new Tri-Planar arm. Does changing out a tonearm cable make an appreciable difference? Is it worth the bucks? Please no "try it and hear's". My contention is that it's like changing interconects. Any suggestions?

By the way, the Tri-Planar has yet to arrive.

Also, through a long-winded combination of luck and coincidence I will be receiving a pair of new Rogue 150 Monoblocks, Conrad Johnson PV10BL preamp, Avid Volvare table, Tri-Planar arm and Lyra Helicon cart all within a week of each other. I'm freakin!!!.

The Rogue'sw are supposed to be something else, 90 watts in triode.

I agree with TWL's recommendation.

BTW, I think where TWL is coming from is that the Tri-Planer is a high quality arm, that "should" come with a high quality cable. (Perhaps not the very best, but certainly something that is not easily, or cheaply beaten).

I think the thread question you should have posed was:

"Are there any Tri-Planer owners out there that have upgraded their stock cable? And if so, what cable did you upgrade to, and what was the resulting sound like?"

Most of us are merely answering based upon our past experiences with our tonearm cables, and not necessarily with the Tri-Planer cable.

By the way, NICE SCORE on the equipment. I am jeolous!
