• Terminal Ends: Gold-plated for optimal signal transfer
• Compatibility: Suitable for various headshells and cartridges, including the Ortofon SH-4 headshell

Detailed Description

Ultra High Purity Copper Wire

The LW-6N lead wires are made from 6N copper, which stands for "six nines" copper, indicating a purity level of 99.9999%. This high purity copper minimizes electrical resistance and ensures a clean and accurate transmission of audio signals, preserving the original sound quality with minimal distortion.

Sophisticated Winding Structure

The wires are designed with a sophisticated winding configuration where the inner strand is wound to the right and the outer strand to the left. This opposing winding technique reduces electromagnetic interference and enhances the stability of the signal transmission, resulting in a clearer and more precise audio output.

Gold-Plated Terminals

At the ends of the LW-6N wires are gold-plated terminals. Gold plating is used for its excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion, ensuring that the connection between the headshell and the cartridge remains stable over time. This design choice contributes to maintaining the integrity of the audio signal path.

Clear and Crisp Tonality

Thanks to the tight winding of the copper strands, the LW-6N wires provide a clear and crisp tonality. The precise engineering behind these wires ensures that audio signals are transmitted with high fidelity, making them ideal for audiophiles who demand the best performance from their turntable setup.

Compatibility Considerations

The LW-6N wires are compatible with a variety of headshells and cartridges, including the Ortofon SH-4. However, due to the slight difference in terminal PIN diameters (1.2 mm for the SH-4 headshell and 1.0 mm for the standard Ortofon headshells), slight adjustments may be necessary to ensure a proper fit. This attention to detail is crucial for preventing over-tightening and potential damage to the terminal PINs.
