New, unused OFC lead wires for cartridges. Due to the current lack of weekend and holiday deliveries, and the addition of 1-2 or more days to delivery times, shipping may take longer. If you are in a hurry, please choose a different shipping method. Important Notes: ★ Due to shipping constraints, the lead wires will be shipped only in a zip-lock bag. If you require damage insurance, please let me know before purchasing, as additional shipping costs will be required. ★ The terminals of lead wires often use copper alloys such as phosphor bronze because they are less likely to cause poor contact during use compared to using soft copper. Therefore, if you try to force them in too hard, you may break them off at the base. (Compared to copper, they are harder and less ductile, so they are more prone to breaking under impact.) Use pliers to gently insert the terminals, gripping the flat part of the tip or the flat part near the insertion point. The hole diameters at both ends of standard lead wires are different even when unused. Cartridges and headshells also have different diameters depending on the manufacturer, so be careful as you may break them during installation. If it's too tight, widen the hole slightly before inserting. I have checked them thoroughly, and the terminals are harder than copper, so it is unlikely that they will break or deform during normal shipping. I have also tested them by dropping them and stepping on them with shoes, and they should be fine unless you intentionally try to damage them. Very rarely, there are cases where people report that they arrived broken or deformed. As stated in my profile, if you require a guarantee, you will need to pay for additional shipping costs, so please let me know if you would like to change the shipping method. If you do not make a request, I am very sorry, but I cannot offer any guarantee. #MC Cartridge MC Cartridge #Step-up Transformer Step-up Transformer #Turntable Turntable #Analog Record Analog Record #Cartridge Record #Tonearm Cartridge #Record Phono Equalizer #Phono Equalizer Tonearm #Audio Audio #Headshell #Lead Wire
