really I have no clue, but it cant be that hard.
what do you want to change it to? XLR? 1/4 inch?
but a soldering iron will be neccesary for sure |

Yes, I was thinking of audiophile grade interconnect cables. My father's hobby is high-end hometheater, andhe has some audio engineer frieds that could put together something for me. I know im a quality freak. |

you would think that for the price you pay for them, technics would come with gold plated cables.. NOPE!
I might replace mine too, of course, that would void my warranty.. |

| It’s really surprising just how much shoddy cables affects sound quality! Just one tip though, make sure you have a good quality Mixer and Styli/Cartridges otherwise any sound improvement will be lost! |

it depends on how nice you want it to look
you could just chop the old RCA off the end, cut back some of the sheild, and solder on a new RCA/XLR or whatever you want as an out from the TT(id suggest sticking w/ RCA) If you buy nice RCA they should come w/ a neck sheild so that it will cover the bit you hacked off.
the other option, is to open the Techs, rip the entire RCA apparatus(cords+ends) out and solder a new set in.
Id try the 1st one. Its not hard @ all, should take 10 minutes |
