I bought this cable to replace the phono cables in my Technics 1200 Mk2. After spending an hour replacing the cables with this cable, I realised that one of the audio lines was defect. Yes I should have tested before using this (my mistake) but you epect these things to work. The manufacturer certainly did not test this at the factory where they are made. As I cut the cable in half to use both ends, there will be no chance of a refund.
