Audio Technica PCOCC lead wires for cartridges. Please note that postal delivery currently does not include weekends and holidays, and delivery times have been extended by 1-2 days or more, so it often takes 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 us know before purchasing, as additional shipping costs will be required. ★ The terminals of lead wires often use copper alloys such as phosphor bronze because using ordinary soft copper can be too soft and cause poor contact during use. Therefore, if you try to force them in too hard, they can easily break off at the base. (Compared to copper, they are harder and less ductile, so they are more prone to breaking from impact.) Use pliers to gently insert the terminals, gripping the flat part of the tip or the flat part near the insertion point. Even unused, standard lead wires have different hole diameters at each end. Cartridges and headshells also have different mounting diameters depending on the manufacturer, so be careful as they often break during installation. If it's too tight, widen the hole slightly before inserting. We have checked these thoroughly, and the terminals are harder than copper, so it's unlikely they will break or deform during normal postal delivery. We have also tested them by dropping them and stepping on them with shoes, and they should be fine unless intentionally damaged. Very rarely, there are cases where customers report that they arrived broken or deformed, but as stated in our profile, if you require insurance, you will need to pay additional shipping costs. Please let us know if you would like to change the shipping method. If you do not inform us, we are very sorry, but we 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
