Turntable Cable RCA to Bare End with Ground Lugs

A vinyl LP (long-playing) record plays through a purely mechanical process that converts microscopic physical movements into sound.

Turntables use either a moving magnet (high-impedance) or moving coil (low-impedance) cartridge. The stylus traces the record’s grooves, translating the groove modulations into an electrical signal that is sent to connected audio components—typically a phono preamp, integrated amplifier, or receiver.

AMERICAN RECORDER’s high-performance turntable audio cable is engineered to faithfully and naturally transmit these extremely delicate, low-level signals.

Our turntable cables are built using a proprietary twin-lead cable design, featuring 27 AWG oxygen-free copper (OFC) center conductors surrounded by a 100% spiral shield. This optimized geometry and low capacitance ensure superior signal transfer with minimal noise while preventing high-frequency loss.

An 18 AWG chassis ground wire, terminated with a fork connector, is included for proper grounding. The ground wire extends 6 inches at each end, allowing for easy connection to a chassis ground screw. A durable yet supple outer PVC jacket ensures easy installation and long-term reliability.

This version is terminated with left and right Gold RCA plugs on one end and pre-tinned bare leads on the other, making it ideal for upgrading or replacing cables on vintage turntables.  RCA connectors are made from brass with gold plating.

CABLE LENGTHS 

• 1 meter (3.3 ft)
• 1.5 meter (4.95 ft)
• 2 meter (6.6 ft)
• 3 meter (9.9 ft)
• 4 meter (13.2 ft)

FYI - Turntables use a magnetic cartridge and stylus to pick up sound from the record groove.  The signal level from the magnetic cartridge is very low and must be connected to audio equipment with a "PHONO" level input.  When connecting a turntable to audio equipment without a phono input, an AMERICAN RECORDER VDC-141 PHONO PREAMP can be used, allowing connection to any line level input (CD, DVD, TAPE, etc.).
