A short run of RCA-to-RCA tonearm leads. The cable is the same Gotham GAC-2Pair that goes into the Clear Wave 2.0, with phono plugs at both ends instead of a DIN.

It runs from the tonearm to your phono stage and is not meant for line-level signals. The shield connects to the ground wires at each end only, never to a signal wire at any point. That is also why it is not for a turntable with the phono stage built in.

The connectors are gold-plated black Switchcraft with channel indicators, and the Y-splitter is PEEK, machined here. Two layers of copper shielding give full coverage, so crosstalk stays low and RF stays out, and the cable is still flexible enough to route properly. It suits moving magnet and moving coil, and makes a good lead between an arm and an MC step-up transformer.

If you run a separate line stage between your phono stage and power amp, you may get a better result taking the ground wire to the preamp chassis rather than the phono stage's ground terminal.
