Review on ๐ŸŽถ Pfanstiehl Turntable Phonograph Lead Wires for Stereo Cartridge Headshell by Andy Baker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great if they fit your needs.

My Story: I bought a brand new genuine Technics sleeve (not cheap) and then quickly broke one of the wire clips trying to install my Shure cartridge. This was hardly my first setup, but the original clips were triangular and just didn't match the big round pins on the pickup. These Pfanstiehl wires have a round internal shape and fit perfectly on the pickup pegs, but are too loose on the shell pegs. I was able to crimp them with some difficulty and get them to fit nicely and everything works great. (Since they're already round, you'll need to fit one split edge of the clip into the other edge to make them smaller.) Are they brittle? Yes, but no more than OEM Technics cables. So if they work for your application I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Pros
  • Pickup 4-wire stereo cable set.
Cons
  • Dear
