Denon DP-45F - Worth it to replace RCA cables?

I have a Denon DP-45F and it works great - but the cables that came with the turntable are the originals from like 1983 and show a bit of wear where they would bend closest to the phono connection on my receiver/amp.
Since the ground wire is part of the wiring coming out of the turntable, is it possible to replace the cables with newer better cable, and if yes how hard is this to do? Is it best left to a repair center to do something like this and will I hear any improvement ?

THANKS

Are you having audio issues with your cables? Check with organdonorparts.com. Rob may have an original set in better shape. Direct swap, less trouble.
 
Denon used low capacitance cables on all of their turntables. If you decide to replace - look for cables that have less then 20pF per foot capacitance or you will be loosing high frequency. I replaced cables in my DP-62L because I needed slightly longer run and I used Blue Jean Cables. They are 12pF / ft but quite larger diameter and was a challenge to do a neat job. Mogami W2965 is 17pF cable that comes as a double and is similar diameter as original cables.
