Tonearm cable recommendations

[innuendo]

Just bought a Mayware 4 tone arm and looking for replacement cables to connect to amp.
That would include din to phono.
Anyone have any recommendations

Assuming it came with the original cable, and it is functional, then there is no need for going aftermarket; that is, unless you have a particular need for extremely low net load capacitance.

FYI, the Mayware lead was 112pF including plugs.

Hi Yeah Sadly it came with a L shape din connector which previous owner had used. I need a straight one.
So it’s a matter of cost effective really.

Jelco JAC-101 is basically what eventually came with the Mayware arms, the only difference being that the supplied cable included a DIN plug end flying lead for metal turntable chassis ground connection. JAC-101 cables show up on the used market occasionally, as many are looking for a right angle plug (or some unrealistic ideal of tonearm cable nirvana).

Note that you may have to shave down the tab that fits into the plug orientation slot within the usual arm pillars, in order to fully insert the plug.

Should you be installing the Mayware on a metal sub-chassis deck, such as Linn LP12, classic Thorens, etc., then the standard Jelco item may require some bodging via grafting on a DIN end ground lead.

This seller on ebay usually has a selection:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/ytomeaudiocables

I bought from him and it was well made/decent quality. Also has a website:

https://www.shop.back-promo.co.uk/

both appear to be temporarily unavailable at present, but worth checking back if you don’t find anything else. Offers a range of cables and different style plugs for both ends to choose from.
