The P-3 was audibly better afterward, but I had several things done at once besides the re-wiring of tone arm and box, including replacing feet with two sets of mod squad soft shoes (those things were great) and changing of stock felt mat with Audioquest sorbothane mat. All of these changes together made a very noticable improvement over stock Rega P-3. The re-wiring with cardas was done by my dealer (Savant Audio, Princeton NJ area) shipping the arm back to England, and my dealer did the install and connecting/soldering of the Cardas box. The box has RCA jack outputs, I am not familiar with the Din version, perhaps the RCA jack version is no longer available(?)
Replacing turntable captive RCA cords
I have a Project 1xpression with low quality captive RCA cords. Has anyone taken a table like this and installed a RCA output block? It doesn't look to have any kind of connector from the tonearm wires. I am getting by with this table while I save up for a better one. I am using the Grado phono preamp and Reference Sonata cartridge with an AQ Jaguar cable on the output of the phono pre. Seems kind of like a waste with that garbage cable coming out of the table. It seems not to be shielded very well either.
