Tonearm cable for SME-V
Can anyone recomend a good, moderately priced phono cable for this tonearm.
I am not too experienced with this sort of thing but the original van den hul connector is apparently bad, causing a hum. Turntable is a sota nova. Thanks! |

I also have a Sota Nova, but with an Audioquest PT-9 tonearm. If your
connection is under the table, you should try to get a very flexible cable. You do not want the cable to rest on the TT stand or shelf. This would hamper the suspension of the turntable. If I recall, when the Audioquest arm was reviewed in Stereophile, the arm could be purchased with different cables. The quality of the cable made a huge difference in the sound quality. I am certain this still holds true. Personally, I recommend an Audioquest cable as they carry a lifetime warranty. If you have problems like your current dilemna, you can ship the cable back to Audioquest for replacement or repair. Good luck!! Of course, you can try The Needle Doctor as they carry a wide selection of cables for the analog lover and will offer suggestions over the phone. |

If mere cable makes such a "huge" difference in sound quality, why would someone want or need a "lifetime" warranty? We know it's just a matter of time (the interval between issues of TAS or Stereophile) before a new cable that "blows away" the former will be discovered and reported on. In such an environment who in their right mind would want to keep a cable more than a year, or so? I mean, what self respecting audiophile wants last years cable sullying their music? michael |
