Headhsell leads on SME V

The wires must not be in correct order.One other possibility I can think of is,one of the wires may appear to be soldered,but the insulation may be the only thing touching the terminal, causing it to look ok. Last on my list is a connection in the cartridge itself let go.The different brand of wires shouldn't cause this.

Ssyeed, You obviously changed cart. clips and not the wire or leads. If the clips are soldered in a 'neat' way then there should be no problem. Otherwise you should use the
same clips on all leads but the 'neat' soldering is still
involved as precondicion.

Regards,

I checked the order and that is fine. I also tried different cartridges. And I changed the leads, not the clips. I'm thinking Hifihvn might be right about one of the wires being defective.

Problem solved. Hifihvn was right. Only the insulation was touching the terminal on one of the leads.

Ssayeed, That your problem is solved is nice to hear. But
I don't understand how 'the insulation was touching the
terminal on one of the leads' could cause the problem .
My assumption is that SME V has no exchangable headshell so
the wire or leads are continuous from cart clips till phonocable. A change of any lead or wire would mean a change of the whole wire: from clips till phonocable. Ie
I don't understand how insulation can cause any problem and I also don't understand what you mean with 'the terminal'. The usual problem is that the cart clips break
because those wire or leads are very thin or vulnerable.
