Hi Not sure if this is what your looking for but I recently eliminated my Thorens TD 160 ( original ) interconnects and installed some Cardas rca female recepticles on my Thorens.,as to have the ability to use a better interconnect than the problematic old stock interconnects..I actually only spent $100 and recently purchased a pair of Audio Art IC-3 ( shielded ) interconnects and have very good luck with them..Being the Thorens tonearm is still grounded internally i have had no issues with hum and they sound great..I would asume you can have even more luck if your willing to spend more money,but considering the age and the performance level of the elder Thorens,this is an option for you..Also very nice people to deal with..........
Good phono Cable for my Project rpm10/grado sonata
Hi to all Audiogon members
I'm very new in analog world so I don't have experience in phono cable yet. Now I’m in a process of set up my analog gear that includes Project rpm 10 with the grado reference sonata. For the phono stage I’ll use the Plinius M 16 built in phonon stage (the amp is the pilings SA 250 mrk 4 speakers are carver ribbon but in the near future I’ll replace the speakers probably to isphone Europe). I prefer more warm & sweet sound and less analytical. I’m mainly listening to jazz & classic but sometimes also to world music and rock.
My previews analog gear was the Thorens 166 mrk 3 and Grado prestige gold with "built in" Phono cable that came with the Thorens (I must admit that on most well vinyl records this cheap set up beat my Metronome transport TIA with the PS audio ultralink two DAC). My budget is around 300-500$ but willing to stretch a little for better cables (Also consider to buy a good used cable).
Anyone out there willing to give me some advice/recommendation on some good phonon cable
Thanks in advance
Yossi
