Replacing the lead wires in record playback is an easy and effective way to improve sound quality. We hope you will give it a try. Rare 1960s Western Electric 24GA single-core wire, made with brown insulation and custom gold-plated tips. These are lead wires for turntable cartridges. While cloth-covered single-core wires are common, this PVC-spec vintage single-core wire is rare. Compared to cloth-covered cross-core wires, these are straight, with a low center of gravity and are also capable of delicate expression, making them suitable for a wide range of genres. We recommend these for those who are new to this or who didn't quite get along with the cloth-covered W.E. The custom-made tips are designed to be very resistant to accidental disconnection, which is a common issue with lead wires. The tips are easy to attach, making them easy to use even for those who are new to replacing lead wires. They are unlikely to break even if bent sharply, so you can enjoy replacing the lead wires many times. In the unlikely event of damage, we will send a replacement. The standard length is 4.5cm including the terminals. The custom tip size is 1cm. These are the most standard and versatile, but they are perfect for records with powerful drum backbeats, such as D'angelo, as well as Pete Rock, 9th Wonder, Prince, J Dilla, and Questlove. While manufacturer-made lead wires are not necessarily bad, the purity of the materials used by WE and Belden during this era, when high-quality metal materials were abundant, is incomparable to modern wires that melt and reuse existing copper wires. They transmit the signal from the record in the most musical way. You can feel the nuances of the performers even more deeply, and you can monitor with the resolution and depth to understand the intentions of mixing and mastering. Sounds that would normally make your ears hurt with standard lead wires will be completely different with lead wires made of high-purity materials. Of course, sound preferences vary from person to person, but with vintage wires, you can improve sound quality to the point where you can tell just by listening. The tips, which are the connection terminals, can be easily adjusted to fit the size of the cartridge and head terminals. * We accept anonymous shipping for an additional 130 yen.
