incognito rewire-sonic improvement?


Have an old rega 2 and am wondering if its worth re-wiring it. Any suggestions would help, Playing it through a rotel 1062 integrated. I also have a graham slee se 2 but it sounds better straight through the amp, thanks

Hi Dan,

The Incognito is quite nice wire, but the slightest bit rolled off on top. You might like it depending on your system balance.

My vote would go to contacting Joe de Phillips at Discovery Cable to wire your arm.

It might be of interest to you that the good folks at Triplanar tonearms use Discovery wire.

Cheers,

Thom_machris... One of the big differences between the basic VPI 9 inch tonearm and the VPI Signature, is the replacement of Discovery cable to Nordost. The difference is easy to hear in favor of the Nordost. I rewired my Rega arm with Incognito wire, and it was a definite upgrade. I can't tell you if Discovery would be a further upgrade from the Incognito, however, I hear a definite improvement from the Discovery to the Valhalla in the VPI setup.
I have a Rega rewired with the Incognito, and I also have the VPI arms with both Discovery and Valhalla wire. In my setup the Discovery wire on VPI is more rolled off than the Incognito wire on the Rega. My Incognito wired Rega with Pete Riggle stub mod and counterweight is a nice sounding arm. I'm just wondering if that is too much arm for that table(even without the stub mod)? On the other hand, you could always keep the arm and upgrade to better Rega tt.
