The other version would also remove the DIN connector, and provide RCA connectors to connect the cartridge to the phonestage with one uninterrupted cable. One version would remove the existing connector near the cartridge, instead extending the internal wire to connect directly to the cartridge. BritAudio (also in UK, offers two versions. (Still need to use leads and phono cables.) Audio Origami just replaces the wire inside existing arm tube.

I found several other outfits that would install the Cardas wire, the prices are all over the map, and each does something different. I contacted SME, and they told me that they use a silver litz wire, but not Kondo, and the person would not tell me what they are using. I found many posts indicating that SME would install this wire upon request. They suggest to go with the Cardas 33ga OFC wire. He's had to fix many tubes that used this wire. They mentioned that since this wire is only coated with some varnish, it would rub against the inside of the armtube and eventaully cause some issues. But they are hesitant to recommend this cable. that would install this wire - Audio Origami. I was only able to find one outfit in U.K. From what I can tell, this will provide more details in the sound. I did some online search last week, there seems to be many supporters of the Kondo silver wire.
