    them myself. It was not fun. I really don't understand why A) Ortofon
    hasn't fixed the connectivity problem inherent in their Cartridges, and B)
    why Technics insists on hardwiring crappy RCA cables onto their Turntables.
    It would make much more sense if they provided RCA ports on the machine
    itself so we could use our own."

    I used to charge 50 bucks for RCA replacement and yes the clip would never
    fit over the monster cables
    so i had to use plastic ties.

    Curiously Technics stop selling the mk4's which featured a 78 button and
    removable RCA's because apparently americans weren't interested.
    i actually have a MOD to make removable RCA's if anyone is interested i can
    email you. it's easy although
    this will eliminate the use of having the plastic cover. which most people
    don't ever use anyways.
