So far the wire just sits on top of the arm, just for testing it out. The wire will go right from the cartridge up to the preamp (about 3 feet I would say). I was planning to let it trought the arm (with no sleeving like you said) through the pivot down to arm base, at which point I was planning to start the sleeve at the point where the wire exits the base. I tried the nylon guitar string through the pivot and it goes fine :)
I guess I will need to fix the wire at the base exit, I was thinking about using the original plastic cap (it has an outside thread to thread it into the arm base. Original Sumiko inside arm wiring was from cart to this plastic cap (wiring was solded on the inside 5 points including ground wire), and then on the outside I still have a cable with plastic female which I won't be using any longer, that part took it to the preamp.
I may just drill a small hole in the plastic cap which goes into the arm base to let the wiring plus the sleeve through. Hope it makes sense, would appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you
