Why OFC Silver-Plated Wire?
Oxygen-free copper minimizes oxidation and signal degradation over time. The silver plating further reduces surface resistance, ensuring high-frequency detail is preserved from the stylus all the way through your audio chain. For audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts who demand clarity and consistency, this cable is the right choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes OFC silver-plated wire better for turntable tonearm cables?
A: Oxygen-free copper (OFC) is refined to remove oxygen impurities that can cause signal degradation and corrosion over time. Silver plating on the copper strands further reduces electrical resistance, especially at higher frequencies, resulting in cleaner, more accurate audio signal transmission from your turntable stylus to your amplifier.
Q: What length should I choose — 400 mm or 508 mm?
A: The correct length depends on your specific tonearm model and how the internal wiring is routed. 400 mm suits most standard tonearms, while 508 mm provides extra slack for larger or longer tonearm designs. When in doubt, measure the internal wiring path of your existing arm before ordering.
Q: Is the ground wire included, and which wire is it?
A: Yes, a dedicated ground wire is included. The black wire in the kit is designated as the ground wire, which helps eliminate hum and ensures a stable, clean audio signal from your turntable setup.
Q: Is this cable compatible with my turntable?
A: This tonearm cable is designed to be compatible with most standard home audio turntable tonearms that use internal wiring of similar gauge. The ultra-slim 0.4 mm outer diameter makes it easy to route through a wide variety of tonearm designs. If you are unsure, consult your turntable's service manual or manufacturer specifications.
