Captive tonearm cable - any advantages?


Was just looking at the Clearaudio Concept turntable, and I notice that it has a captive tonearm cable. Is there any advantage to this (other than to keep me from spending too much on exotic cables)? It seems to be rather limiting to prevent one from using their favorite cable or to fine-tune system synergy. Not sure if it's a deal-breaker, but it's certainly a big strike in my book. Any opinions on the matter? Does it limit the ultimate performance of the table?

Thanks,
Scott

Theoretically, its better to have the single cable rather than plugs, to other cable connections. If done correctly, the advantage is greatly mollified.
