Audio Technica Color-Coded Wires Turntable Multi-Color (AT6108)

These wires are excellent quality, a little thick for the purpose, need some extra care to bend/shape during the install but well worth the effort. I have replaced 1979 Technics headshell wires with these, perfect fit and functioning really well.Don't forget to adjust the stylus force and anti-skate, these are heavier than the vast majority of lead wires, I corrected almost 0.5g.

Much thicker and connects well. Is it a massive change in sound?… it’s noticeable enough, but if anything it gives me more confidence in my system.

The leads on the 'black taped' ends are VERY TIGHT to the point where I think there is a manufacturing error and they may come 'stuck together' (the g/b/w/r ends are actually perfect). To loosen up the 'black' side, I used a eyeglass screwdriver and a hammer on a piece of rubber to *gently* hammer the screwdriver into the gap in the lead... from there, it can be manipulated and loosened to fit properly. Otherwise sound is fantastic and as I said the other ends (g/b/w/r) are perfectly sized.

One of the original leads broke on my vintage Jeweltone headshell that belonged to my grandfather. The pins on the inside of the shell are more narrow than the other modern headshells I own. These worked like a charm. Very well made and thicker than all my other leads as well. Really opened up the signal from the VM95EN cart. Will order another set to go on my recently purchased OC9XEN.

These headshell leads are worth the money their perfect snug fit alone. Had to replace the leads on my new Technics turntable, and they do actually improve sound quality.

WELL MADE, SOUND GREAT.

An incredible pain to install. I just gave up and returned these. Take note as this isn’t evident when you order them, the black shrink-wrapped end has a different inside diameter than the colored end. It’s mentioned in the instructions. If you zoom into the stock photo, you can see the difference. I’m not sure why AT elected to design these cable this way.The black side would not easily fit on either my Gemini or Audio Technica headshell. The colored ends were a bit loose on my Ortofon Q.Bert OM cartridge.

First off the quality is very well made. The problem is the black end which hooks up to the head shell are too tight to fit. I had to use a sowing needle and two pliers, use the larger side of the needle vertically in the small gap of the pin to gauge the end in order to make it fit properly. After doing that the wires seem to work extremely well. Just have to modify them a bit.
