sleeving AudioNote tonearm wiring

Hello,
Recently tried newly purchased AudioNote silver tonearm wires on a couple of my arms (Ortofon RS-212D and Sumiko MDC800), I should say I was impressed in a positive way. Now I need to finish the project, I am going to install it into Sumiko. What I am looking for is some advise. I am planning to put either cotton or silk sleeve outside, if somebody can share a good distributor for cotton/silk sleeving material. Also, would be nice to read up / hear any thoughts on the procedure. In particular would love to hear opinion whether or not I should apply any extra insulation before it is put into the sleeve. The wire itself is already insulated of course it is not a bare wire but I was not sure.
Thank you,
Anatoliy

Anatoliy,

Would you mind sharing your source for the exact wire that you're using? Is it the three stranded wire with the Polyurethane insulation?

Frogman,

That is exactly how I wired my ET-2 tonearm except I didn't twist the pairs after the loop or put the polyurethane mesh on. I read somewhere that Lloyd Walker does not twist the pairs unless there's an RF interference problem. Did you have an interference issue?

Raul,

Audio Note's website shows it as being polyurethane insulation. See part number AN-WIRE-300 three quarters of the way down the page.
