Captive turntable interconnects; should I modify??


Hi. I came across a NOS Denon DP47f turntable from the 80's. Purchased new in Japan by a serviceman & never opened until I got it. A lot to like; well-built, rosewood base, mint, never used condition. I installed a new Ortophon Samba low-output MC cartridge, and run it through a Perreaux SXVI phono preamp. I have nothing to compare it to, but it sounds wonderful in my system. One thing I don't like is the cheap-looking captive interconnects with "Radio Shack" style RCA connections. Will I realize a noticible sonic improvement by installing nice RCA connections on the rear plate and using a nice pair of interconnects? Another option is to hard-wire a relatively thin pair of interconnects directly to the turntable. Advice please. Thanks.

The picture link is valid. It works for me on two different PCs. Try copying and pasting into your browser.
Gbart,
I believe that replacing captive wires would do substantially better job than non-captive. You're eliminating an extra connection on the signal path to go directly to the phono amp.
make sure you use low mass rca plugs, like the wbt nextgens, they are perfect for this application, and let more of your music through !!!
