The cables comming off the head shell that attach to the cartridge body are from the 1940s, as thin as a strand of hair.
When ABing from a normal headshell with the stock cable from the cartridge body to the head shell, to this rare cable conected from the cartridge body to the headshell you can really hear the difference.
The Cartridge we used and ab-ed against was the Grado 200 on a normal headshel setup with the normal cable, and a headshell with a Grado 200 with this rare 1940s cabling on the head shell.
IMHO We liked the headshell with the 1940s cabling better... much cleaner, more output and more detail it is amazing what just the cable change in this portion of the system will do for your clarity.
