NVA arm lead

The standard NVA interconnects (apart from SC) are not suitable for arm leads as they are a shotgun design, so not screened enough for this job. Well one of my muse moments has seen a mod to the designs to solve this. This only applies to SSC and SSP not for TIS.

The problem for arm leads is the plugs or lack of plugs and hard wire that is needed with these cables, so they are bespoke order only. You say length needed and type of plug and link to it at ebay if plug is needed. If hard wired how you want the cable terminated. The cable will cost about the same to make as standard SSC and SSP so to make life easier for all of us prices will be the same, BUT being bespoke they will not be subject to the cable discounts we regularly do at eBay.

Discuss here, order with a thread at NVA orders room.

Looking forward to it!

At the moment I’m using a sound cord that I bodged one of those DIN connectors onto, but it would be good to upgrade the cable and the construction!

I asked for rca phono plugs on the end of my tonearm rewire so I could run SSC to the phono stage- should I use SC instead?

As standard (no mods) the SC better suited from tonearm is how I interpreted this statement- I use SSC at the moment
