Tonearm Cable Question

Many think that the connector at the end of the tonearm is a DIN connector and, in fact, it is not. It is a JIS connector, Japanese standard. There is a distinct difference between the two. Several companies make a box with a JIS connector at one end that plugs into the tonearm base and a pair of RCA jacks at the other end so that you can use the standard interconnect of your choice. Besides adding an additional break where the signal is most vulnerable, the quality has always been one of putting RV tires on the family sedan. I havn't liked it but it just may float your boat and is just the thing for experimenting.

You may want to check into Cardas Audio. They make a fantastic sounding phono cable terminated with DIN to RCA plugs. It's their "Golden Reference phono cable".

Slowhand. Are you asking about IC's from the output of the TT to the phono input, or are you asking about the actual tonearms wiring going to the output of the TT.
If it's about the IC's between TT and pre amp, I'm curious also.

I have been shopping for a new tonearm cable, and also learning along the way. In a tonearm cable, the cable is real subcepible to low frequency (motor) what silver audio people explained to me it has everything to do w/ sheilding of the signal wire.A regular IC may not have the same sheilding to get rid of low frequency. So tonearm ICS differ from source componants ICS in the sheilding of the signal wire. And then you need to consider the composition and design of the signal wire also. David

Ramond, I am talking about cable between the tonearm and preamp.
