Cobra Cable

I reconfigured the Continuum Cobra phono cable from XLR to cinch Furutech. By that establishing a bridge transfer similar to the Wilson Benesch stand behind their new tonearm, of course there ar some differences. The inner cable (shielded by a black metal like cover) consisted of four litz and the mass. I got help by my congenial technicians of Audio -Reparatur working on this delicate reconstruction.

The Cobra arm carries a Lyra Olympos going to the EMT JPA 66 phono stage.

btw. the metal stand is a relict of the wonderful Titan SPJ La Luce tonearm I am using on my Caeles II table.

  1. Not to sure on the Wilson Benesch table but looking at helix one table the carbon outrigger seems to be connected/mounted to the arm board.

    Regarding the criterion as you know the arm board is held rigidly in place by attracting magnets with air gap.

    I may look to mount something connected to the arm cable clamp to the rear of the chassis with the fine arm cables running inside for shielding…

    How easy was it to rewire your cobra arm..

    • Hi Mark,
      It was not easy. Through the metal jacket four litzes, also a mass one as well as a stabilising metal pipe are going through. You need to eliminate the mass at the Furutech connectors and solder two litzes each.
      When you take out the litzes from the metal pipe you need to bring it back by a support pipe.
