Might check in with kabusa.com ?
I skimmed and scanned kabusa.com for wiring and found the tonearm section but that did not mention anything about special wire parameters. Perhaps it is time to get at it and just use the Canare wire you chose @MrOneEyedBohMight check in with kabusa.com ?
Yeah I didn't see much on the site for the 1500 particularly, was more curious if they had some specs/ideas for OP.I skimmed and scanned kabusa.com for wiring and found the tonearm section but that did not mention anything about special wire parameters.

Me too. I was very curious. if all else fails purchasing a DIN to RCA phono cable and then chopping off the DIN plug and soldering on some RCA's would probably assure a phono cable match is done. I did that in the past and physically the cable appeared like any other quality coax cable used for RCA terminations in general although examining the cable's physical layout doesn't mean it is or isn't specially designed for phono use.Yeah I didn't see much on the site for the 1500 particularly, was more curious if they had some specs/ideas for OP.

So it sounds like I'm already up sh*ts Creek with that AT lol right?Typical period TT cables, including the tonearm, added up to around 100pf
The tonearm itself is usually around 20pf to 30pf, so you want to ensure that your interconnect is no more than 70pf
Keep in mind that the cartridge loading will be the interconnect + tonearm cabling + load within the phono stage.
So one of the difficulties with something like an AT95VM - is that many phono stages have 200pf onboard - 200PF at the phono stage +100PF tonearm+cable = 300PF - and you are miles outside the cartridge spec of 100pf to 200pf.
From experience with multiple AT designs, when they say 100pf to 200pf, what they actually mean is 100pf, but it will still sound acceptable at up to 200pf (!!)
Shure cartridges on the other hand would do well at 400pf+ - but if you want wide compatibility in your setup, try to get your cabling as low capacitance as possible - I have one of my TT's down to 60pf.
Well getting the AT MM's optimised is always tricky with many phono stages that have onboard C loading... - you need a phono stage where you can remove the C loading, leaving nothing but the tonearm and cable.... (if you are attempting to achieve the manufacturers specified FR... with higher C loading you will get something different - which you may like or dislike...)So it sounds like I'm already up sh*ts Creek with that AT lol right?
Thanks. So that would be moreso like a traditional RCA cable, where they are joined togetherback to the cable discussion, dont sleep on the Mogami W2528, great spec's as well
yeah, their jackets are connected, they are also quite a bit smaller compared to the other two mentioned (can61s/mog2964)Thanks. So that would be moreso like a traditional RCA cable, where they are joined together
