New, unused item. This is a set of 4 lead wires with gold-plated connectors for cartridges, using OFC oxygen-free copper for excellent stability. Please note that postal deliveries currently do not operate on weekends and holidays, and delivery times have been extended by 1-2 days or more. 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 the lead wires often use phosphor bronze or other copper alloys because they are less likely to cause poor contact during use compared to softer materials like ordinary copper. Therefore, avoid forcing them in too hard, as this can easily break them at the base. (Compared to copper, these alloys are harder and less ductile, making them more prone to breaking under impact.) Use needle-nose pliers to gently insert the terminals, gripping the flat part of the terminal tip, close to the insertion point. The hole diameters at both ends of standard lead wires differ from the start, even when unused. Cartridges and headshells also have varying insertion diameters depending on the manufacturer, so be careful not to break them during installation. If it's too tight, widen the hole slightly before inserting. I have checked these items thoroughly, and the terminals are harder than copper, so it is unlikely that they will break or deform during normal postal delivery. I have also tested them by dropping them and stepping on them with shoes, and they should be fine unless intentionally damaged. Very rarely, there may be cases where items arrive broken or deformed. As stated in my profile, if you require a guarantee, please inform me of a shipping method change, as this will require additional shipping costs. 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 #Phono Equalizer Record #Phono Equalizer Tonearm #Audio Audio #Headshell #Lead Wires
