The Great Cable Debate -- Reloaded

[Gary Hubbard]

Hello fellow audio junkies, I am still wrestling with the idea of re-wiring my new Rega/Michel
RB250 tonearn. I am considering clipping the stock rega wires several inches from the arm base plug and grafting in some decent monster interlink from there to the phono input on the preamp (New York Audio Lab Minuet in A). Does that seem worth the trouble - given that I will have ruined the Stock Rega wiring in the process?

One thing the stock Rega wiring harness does not need is more solder joints. If you want to improve the performance google Incognito wiring harness. The original wires in the Rega are soldered to the cartridge clips, then soldered to thin wires just inside the arm behind where the cartridge mounts, again soldered to larger wires again at the base of the arm and last to the rca plugs. The Incognito are soldered only at the cartridge clips and the rca jacks and the wire is continuous in length and guage all the rest of the way.

My RB300 has the Incognito wiring along with the VTA adjuster, new weight and stub. All of the mods were worth the money. If you are going to do what you are thinking then you should get the Incognito wiring.
All my cables are Kimber Silver Streak except the tonearm cable. It's a TAK-H. It has the same construction as the Silver Streak stuff. Silver conductor with copper ground and drain.
