Ditto uninterrupted direct-wire. I've transitioned from the vetted Hovland Musicgroove to various DIY straight-wire designs-- most recently with KLEI silver RCAs-- and will never go back. Count the number of soldered and metal-on-metal contacts eliminated and it makes perfect sense for low-level signal.
Tonearm wiring termination---DIN, or RCA jacks?
I'm about to get a tonearm rewired, and am curious how ya'll feel about the question of whether 'tis better to terminate the arm's internal wire into a DIN connector at the bottom of the arm shaft, or into RCA jacks mounted in a block such as Cardas offers, into which RCA cables are inserted.
