More and more audiophiles use silver to rewire their tonearms. Is it worth the cost?
Is it suitable for tonearm rewiring?

Great video. I m glad that you used the word "fraud " and "scam " about these Ebay sellers selling so called Cardas silver wiring kits . I have always thought that was the case. Personally I have tried silver interconnects and never liked them as they added an artificial brightness . Can you recommend a copper rewire kit for my Rega RB 250 Tonearm . I don t want any silver in any of my wiring . I watched your video on how exactly to rewire a Rega 250 which was easily the best I have found on KZfaq

Exactly! We want to be unbiased and straight to the point. We are not in favour of the gear worshipping, snake oil sellers, myth boosting trend that are so popular nowadays mostly on the web. We are sponsored by The Vinyl Source (www.thevinylsource.co.uk) and our opinion in the matter of rewiring kits might be biased, but you can check the feedback on ebay and you'll find more than positive comments in regards of rewire kits and rewire service. If you want a rewire kit for your Rega RB250, made with British-made copper Litz wires at a sensible price you can follow this link: www.thevinylsource.co.uk/product-page/rega-rewire-kit-extra-low-capacitance-cable-full-litz-wiring BTW, you might consider to like our videos and subscribe to the channel, we are the new kids in the block and it will help a lot.

I don’t doubt that there are unscrupulous folk selling products that are not what they seem. However, if someone buys a spool of Cardas wire from a reputable source and uses it to put together a kit for rewiring then they could reasonably describe it as a Cardas rewiring kit. That doesn’t make it any more suitable as a material, of course. I’m grateful for your video as it’s finally put to bed my musings over what is the most suitable wire for tonearms. I use Mogami copper in my system for interconnects and find it much better than the silver plated cable I was previously using from a famous name company. Good luck with your channel.

Thanks for you comment. However, you missed an important detail from Cardas email, they manufacture BARE wires, not woven and not insulated. Unless the dealer had the facilities for woven and insulate the wires, most unlikely, he cannot manufacture the final product. This makes the whole affair a scam. Many famous name are made by the dealers that sell these wires at high price, like Kondo silver wires sold for 250£ for less than one metre of thin wire, Kondo does not exist in Japan or elsewhere, no website, they are not registered in the Japanese chamber of commerce. You can draw jour conclusions... Best Mark

I watched your video when you mentioned Cardas doesn't make silver tonearm rewire but i was on Analogue Seduction website about 3 weeks ago & they had i think it was called Cadas incognito silver but not for my Rega 303. When i asked if they were getting some for Rega they said the man who use to source them had passed away. Just now after watching your video i looked on Analogue Seduction site & suprise no silver wire , strange. I wasnt aware of Cardas not making silver tonearm wire kits but because Analogue Seduction never had silver i purchased Cardas copper rewire kit. Good video. Victor O'Gorman.

Hi Victor I must disappoint you, but Cardas does not, and never did, manufacture rewiring kits for tonearms. They have a line of Mdin-terminated cables instead. The 'incognito' rewire is not manufactured by Cardas and there is no guaranty that there are Cardas wires inside visit or contact Cardas if in doubt. In the HiFi market there are too many BS teller that are borderline, or often straight into, scam or fraud. Here what Josh from Cardas wrote to me time ago: 'What often happens is that people buy our connectors, such as our cartridge clips and/or our DIN connectors, and then attach them to wire from another source. Then they very conspicuously (and somewhat misleadingly) use our name in their listing, in an effort to get clicks. Since they are using Cardas connectors, eBay does not consider this to be a trademark violation' Mark
