Balanced Tonearm Cable for the Musical Fidelity MX-VYNL The Canare mini starquad is a premium shielded 4-conductor cable.It consists of four 26 AWG annealed copper conductors with Cross Linked PE Insulation and a braided copper shield. This is the slim version of the Canare starquad with 4.8mm overall diameter. It is extremely flexible, using fine stranded high conductivity, copper cores and specially formulated PVC compounds that combine to make a soft yet strong and durable outer jacket with excellent flexibility. Handling noise is minimized by the use of cotton fillers. The irradiated polyethylene core insulation provides a low capacitance dielectric. This cable effectively rejects EMI and RFI thanks to its dense braided shield.Canare does not use spiral (serve) shields to prevent spreading apart with use. The braided shield of this cable is more difficult to manufacture because it uses many thin copper strands in a densely woven braid but it results to a very flexible construction with outstanding noise rejection
Selecting your product options:
Length: Choose the length you require. The price of the cable will be adjusted automatically. If you wish to order your cable at a length other different from the ones listed, please contact us for a quote.
Tonearm Connector Type / Destination Connector Options:
Ground connection:Choose if you require your cable fitted with a short earth lead (approx. 14cm) for connection to the turntale chassis. This is an optional feature. Certain turntables may require an additional ground connection between their chassis and the tonearm. In such cases we can supply the cable fitted with a suitable ground lead to enable this connection (typically using an M4 ring terminal). The images below show examples of the cable with and without such a ground lead. Note that this earth lead is not required in order to make the ground connection between the tonearm and the MX-VYNL. (This ground connection is done internally via the ground pins of the tonearm connector and the mini XLR).
If you are not sure which choice is more suitable for you please get in touch and we will try to help.
Angled DIN Pin orientation: Relevant only if you are ordering a cable with an angled tonearm connector. The pin orientation of your tonearm socket and the tonearm connector plug will determine the direction towards which the cable will exit the tonearm/turntable. By default our tonearm connectors are configured using a standard/"Linn" orientation as shown in the image. The choice depends on how the pins of your tonearm socket are rotated. If you are ordering a cable with a straight tonearm connector, this choice is of no relevance and will make no difference.
