Review on 🎢 Pfanstiehl Turntable Phonograph Lead Wires for Stereo Cartridge Headshell by Ken Hamdan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor fit for Ortofon Red cartridge

I bought these cables because the green cable on the Fluance head housing was damaged. The wire attached easily to the body of the Fluance head, but attaching the wire to the Ortofon 2M cassette was another matter. The diameter of the end of the wire is too small for the orthophone. I crimped the end of the wire a bit and tried again. This time the end of the wire came off the wire. I admit that attaching wires to these Ortofon cartridges is a difficult task. The pins on the cartridge are shorter than other cartridges I have installed. And my aging hands will never make me a neurosurgeon. These wires may work well with other brand cartridges. Find something else for Ortofon 2M cartridges.

Pros
  • Brand new color coded 4 cell cartridge.
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
