In other words, with my 1.52 ohm Atlas, an extra ohm or two of wiring is not a rounding error. It is a meaningful chunk of the total. Florian traced that parasitic resistance through the cartridge contacts, the tonearm wires, and the arm-to-P10 cable, and his advice was to keep the whole path “as low as possible when working in current mode, ideally under one Ohm.” To be clear, a continuous silver cable does not automatically guarantee a low resistance path. But fewer junctions means fewer places for resistance to hide. When I had my AXIOM built without the extra DIN and interconnect connections, I thought I was being a little obsessive. Nice to know there was an electrical reason for the obsession. If you are building a current mode front end, have the conversation with your tonearm maker before you order.
