Can you say what it is about the existing cables that leads pun :-) you
to conclude that they require replacement or 'upgrade'?


Nothing really. I think I've got that "need to upgrade" itch!

I am thinking though that in the twenty or so years since my turntable was
made, cable technology might have moved on a bit. The existing wires and
plugs really don't look up to much, and they do carry the most important
and low-level signal in the system. The arm, the cartridge and the phono
stage have all been upgraded, but the signal still goes through the same
wire.

I'm pretty skeptical about plugs and cables, which is why I canvassed for
opinion, but there does seem to be a certain logic in having this
particular bit of wire be the best shielded one in the system.
