Purchased a used Clear Audio Turntable and messed up (ruined) the turntable arm cable (very thin wires INSIDE the arm).  Want to attempt to rewire myself.  Want a decent to very good cable.  What do you suggest? Are you the source?  Audio circle member said I should look into cardas or discovery cables, can't find a source on the internet.

Working with 33AWG wires is a real chore.   I sell a lot of the Cardas 4x33AWG which has two pair of twisted 33AWG wires inside of the shielded & jacketed cable.   It was designed specifically for TA use and it is much easier than trying to twist & route your own.

Having said that it is still a challange to terminate the little guys.   It takes good tools, patience and experience.  

I sell the 4x33AWG by the foot at the following link.

If you need cartridge clips Cardas sells them in sets of four.

I sell both the gold plated ones and the Rhoudium ones at an upcharge.

All in stock.
