Dan, sorry to hear about the wire. Handling tonearm wire is a necessary evil in the analog hobby and I hate everything about handling it. Plain-Jane Cardas wire

Hi Dan I've given up on the Acutex for now, maybe I'll return to it later. Maybe you can give me some pointers on how you got your 420 to sound decent on your 505.
