Technical and speculative discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Re: Good hookup wire for a phono

why shielded? If your arm tube is metallic, I don't figure why you need a shielded cable.
Instead, just twist separately 2 pairs of AWG#30 or #28 teflon or extruded ETFE electrolytic silver plated annealed copper wire.
You can use good quality wire-wrap, see references below. It's advantage is, once twisted, will stay in this position without creating a torque to untwist it.
US military references are:
M16878/6-BBA
M16878/13-BDA
Ask any soldier (wash out dried blood)
My supplier: axon'cables, see URL. Unhappily, it's sold in 250m bobbins at 100 euros. Needs a long arm.
