RS A1 Labs rewire

I once read a thread here whereby someone had done a rewire on their
RS A1 Labs stock tone arm resulting in an improved sound. I have had this arm
for several years and replaced the stock wire with same from the factory. I have tried but have never found a wire light enough to replace it with for an upgrade
in sound . I also understand that they went from cartridge leads straight to
the pre amp inputs. I would appreciate it if anyone can shed some light on this.

Thanks

Why don't you use Acrotec 99.99997% (6N) purity stress free copper wire from Nippon Mining, Japan. It is 46 gauge copper wire with polyester varnish insulation. Available from www.percyaudio.com under the category 'Chassis wire'.

This should be flexible enough. I have the same arm and have planned to get around to rewiring...however too many projects at present prevent me from doing so. Hope this helps. Let me know how it sounds if you use the Acrotec.
