The headshell is a part for fixing the cartridge, and is largely related to sound quality.

The quality and length of the lead wire can affect signal transmission as a conductor for connecting the head shell and cartridge. Changing the lead line may change the sound quality and tone balance.

In general, low resistance and capacitance can be achieved by replacing with high-quality lead wires. High-quality lead wires typically have low resistance values and minimize loss of signal transmission. In addition, high quality lead wires are made of materials with low capacitance, and high range information has characteristics that are difficult to deteriorate.

Although it is a small part, the sound of the record changes greatly here, so the Cospa is very good.

However, when replacing the lead wire of the head shell, it is necessary to select the lead wire that meets the design and specification of the equipment and perform the exact replacement work, so it is necessary to do it carefully. In addition, changes in sound quality due to the exchange of lead lines may vary depending on individual sensitivity and musical genre. A high-quality lead wire is not always the best for everyone.
