I remember Graham wishing tonearm manufacturers would update their wiring for the modern noisy environment. I would love to see an Audiomods arm with such a wiring scheme and accompanying Graham Slee phono stages. Jeff would most likely accommodate such a request at a reasonable cost.

Not sure 100% sure what Graham had in mind for his wiring scheme. It would make for an interesting collaboration. Just a random thought.

My Audiomods arm has the continuous silver phono to cartridge cable option. That is, there are two 1 metre long twisted pairs of light gauge silver litz wires that run between the phono plugs and the cartridge tags,  from the bottom of the arm bearing each pair has a braid screen connected to the ground wire for the arm, within the arm tube screening relies on the arm tube itself. Although the cable is not truly a screened cable the arrangement works reasonably well, although it is still susceptible to mobile phone interference if brought within a metre or so. I suspect that this is mainly due to the lack of shielding in and near the cartridge. Understandably MC to Fanfare phono is more sensitive than MM to Reflex M phono.
I do keep WiFi devices as far away as possible, although I have not noticed any audible interference from things such as Raspberry Pi when operating within about .6m.
So, in answer to your question, Jeff can provide an acceptable "screened" cable.
Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

Yeah I have the same 1 meter silver run on my arm.
I live in the sticks so not much interference here. The wi-fi is in the kitchen and turntable in the bedroom. The only problem I have is the electrical/magnetic noise coming from the motor. Still working on a solution for that.

My series V has arrived today as promised together with a custom mounting plate made by Jeff.

Can't wait to have installed at the weekend - have gone for upgraded internal wiring and separate cable (audio origami for the time being).

Does looo exceptionally well made.

Congratulations Richard - I love this arm & I'm sure you will be delighted when you start using it Big smile

By the way, does that upgraded wiring include a bespoke screen as you mentioned in another thread? I'd be very interested if that is the case.
