Thanks for the tutorial, I am going to give this a go. Just got a 1200 mk2 and have some great RCAs I want to use. Also, dope scratching !!

Great video, man. Thanks for posting. You had some really nice tips at the beginning that were super helpful for a first timer. I would also mention that it is a good idea to replace the zip tie that holds the RCAs to the PCB right after the solder joints. Also, yours had a service loop of extra length under the cover which is helpful in case you ever give them a tug.

Thank you for watching! That’s a great tip as well!

Yes, I have found it difficult to find a replacement cable for turntable that is Low Capacitance, and suitable for soldering. Looks like Blue Jeans cable can produce, with their 1505 Belden. Any suggestions? Their LC-1 has best specs...but, apparently doesn't solder well.,

Thank you!!

Can you send me a link for a suitable replacement CRA cable. I brought one but the wires were too thin too solder

[@pmuppuehtemulov]

what cables are those? thanks for the guidance

[@djkadakamc1889]

I have a shortcut somewhere. Hope to solve by re-soldering wires without replacing cables, because i wish to keep it original.

Do you mind telling me why you did this, please? Is it to improve the sound? Or to do away with hum or or other sound interference? Sweet, I’m a newbie. Thank you. Great video.

Rca cabels tend to wear out and loose connection after a while.
