Had a mishap with my tonearm cable and it is currently being repaired.
Looking for a replacement/spare. Straight DIN to RCA 1m.
The internal tonearm wiring is silver, as are the transformers and wiring in the SUT so seems a shame to stick a copper wire between them, so silver it is!
What have you got, or what would you recommend?

I bought one of these a few years ago (or their equivalent at the time) and it’s fine.
They’ve gone up in price a bit since I bought mine.

I think I have an original SME one, for an SME IV. Weren’t they silver? If so, you are welcome to use it.

@sjs @pmac
The one I had previously was Yannis Tome.
I was almost ready to pull the trigger on the one you both linked to but thought I would check what else was out there!
When you ask a question with the answer in the back of your mind, and two people agree with you, it is a rare moment

it was that, or suggest you make up your own AN AN-Vx cable:
1 x DIN plug £135.83
2 x 0.5m AN-Vx @ £501.78
2 x AN RCA plugs @ £45.69
1 x WBT silver solder @ £29.92
inc postage and VAT approx £1,525

Might make two so I have a spare
How hard can it be?

Would also need to factor in a Weller variable temp soldering station so best add another £450
Having soldered AN-Vx in the past this is some championship level trolling

More like melting than soldering!
if you want to solder a 1m interconnect then start with a 1.5m interconnect

I have a silver AN cable not doing much. Can’t remember the model. Its the hideously expensive one. Sorry if that doesn’t narrow it down much.
