Quality RCA cable replacements for 1210s

[jameshouse]

You need to detirmine what plug terminal each cable core is terminated to. I'd guess that red and white connect to right channel pin and ring repectively, and the blue and yellow connect to left channel pin and ring repectively. But you need to check this yourself with a multimeter. I expect that the outer screen is floating, i.e. not connected to anything.

If (and only if) this is the case, you need to connect it to the tonearm PCB as follows:
red cable core to PCB R+
white cable core to PCB R-
blue cable core to PCB L+
yellow cable core to PCB L-

If you're doing the ground mod too, the ground can be connected to either R- or L- (I think traditionally it's connected to L-, but it doesn't make a difference in practise).

Hope this helps

Thank you DTR. That makes sense. I will get the multimeter out and double check. Cheers for your help.

You should ground it to the Red RCA cable, so R-. with some odd carts it could happen that you have issues if connected to L-. In practice you will probably never have this problem, but why not do it right the first time since it literally does not matter time wise.

No worries. Let us know how you get on.

I'll go along with that

These actually did me really well http://www.juno.co.uk/products/male-...ack/411758-01/

why not upgrading the standard tonearm cables at the same time..... that's not a hard job and quite usefull. Offcourse you don't buy real hi fi ones, but for about 80 dollar or pounds, cause everybody is saying, it's hi-fi, which it really ain't ,but nobody even replaces the tonearmwires. Vestax likes glue, that's a real shitty job to put other wires or a longer carbon arm and tryimg to loosen the sme screw. But the longer lighter arms performs way better then the too short and too heavy standard one.
