Silver Head Shell Leads

As for metals you have to study the galvanic table. Metals that are at opposite ends of the table cannot be put together. The more cathodic (noble) metal will always win at the expense of the more anodic metal.
If you put Gold and aluminum together the aluminum will corrode.

Plain steel and aluminum are close together in the chart and work nicely together and you see this done in cars all the time. But, look where stainless steel is! Way at the bottom or cathodic side. It will corrode plain steel and aluminum. Stainless steel exhaust systems are a PITA for this reason. I have to replace the header bolts in my 911 every two years because they literally melt! You can't use stainless bolts in an aluminum head! (I drive the car in the Winter.) 

mijostyn, I've been hoping to replace that TP-16 tonearm for t least six years now but have yet to come up with the expendable income. It's always something. Anyway, when I do get to that place, the Sorane TA 1 is what I'm thinking about however it comes with a detachable head shell. It's about $1,600.00

Every arm I own has a detachable headshell, lets me setup and swap cartridges a lot easier. I'm partial to the Victor UA series and the Micro Seiki arms, the better ones use a collet type system that locks and grips the headshell very securely. As long as the contact pins are clean I don't worry about some theoretical signal degradation.  They have always worked fine for me.

Detachable head shells are very convenient particularly if you like to swap cartridges or have to such as to play 78s. But, the signal is weak and contacts always seem to have issues, gold less so. It might just be me being neurotic but I prefer one wire head to tail. For 78s a separate table and arm are the ideal solution such as an inexpensive Audio Technica. My tendency is to always listen to the cartridge I like best. The others just sit in a box. The best solution would be two tonearms or two Turntables but that gets expensive.

@goofyfoot , The TA-1 looks like a very nicely made arm and is certainly a good value. I like the spring loaded anti skate mechanism as it is frictionless. It has a great bearing system. It is not neutral balance, VTF will change with elevation and the vertical bearing is lot at the level of the record so warp wow may be a problem with records that are no flat.
In that price range I would prefer the Origin Live Encounter arm. It is a one wire arm and the vertical bearing is at the level of the record. The anti skate device in the TA-1 is better but I do not think that overcomes it's other deficiencies. The origin live arm also has a much lower polar moment of inertia so it will track records better.
