LP GEAR SOAR HD-5 HD 5 HD5 HEADSHELL WIRES SET
-- Serious improvement with these wires

The first thing that electrically connects to the cartridge are the headshell lead wires hence their critical importance in the audio chain. The LP Gear SOAR HD5 headshell wires are designed to do nothing else but to faithfully transfer what comes out from the cartridge without coloration, signal loss or distortion. They sound organically natural and musical.

"Holy crap, these are the real deal! I am hearing some serious improvement with these wires... bass is extended and more detailed, transients are more dynamic, imaging has popped into more vivid 3D, recordings that previously sounded smeared now have nuance and depth, etc. etc. etc.

If your tonearm has a detachable headshell, do yourself a favor and spend $25 on a set of these wires. You can thank me later..." stated a customer in one of the forums.1

LP Gear Soar HD5 Features
- Twisted very high purity copper Litz wires mitigate proximity and skin effects

Quality Leads

I installed the new leads when I replaced a stylus on an AT 8008 on a Technics SL-Q2 I have been refurbishing. The sound is very clear, enjoyable. 4 stars instead of 5 because the USPS shipping took 20 calendar days.

Super high quality lead wires

Litz configuration, the best way to connect your cartridge to your Headshell. These leads are top notch!

SOAR HD-5 Earns Position in Tonearm Rewire

Due to change in MC (from Goldring Eroica LX to Denon DL-S1) mounted on MMF9.3 turntable, broken headshell pins warranted tonearm partial rewire. Using SOAR HD-5, I kept cartridge leads intact and carefully cut and spliced SOAR wires tp MMF9.3 tonearm. Soldering and shrink tubing the MMF9.3 30AWG wires to the SOAR has resulted in outstanding music reproduction through the Denon DL-S1. I plan on future SOAR HD-5 purchases to use on 2 other turntables and assortment of cartridges mounted on headshells. Very pleased!

Excellent, especially for the price

I used these as replacements for my 1981 Sony PS-X600 which was still running the originals. After switching cartridges the old set wasn't making clean contact so I purchased these.

They worked great, had to clamp them just a bit, but in less than 10 minutes I was back to listening.

Definitely recommend.

JICO replacement Empire S2000E/III stylus
Michael Watsonw (Wilson, US)
New life for a classic cartridge

I really enjoy listening to albums with my Empire S2000E/III and this new JICO stylus. It gives me another experience from my normal Ortofon 2m blue cartridge. I get a better upper range definition and slightly less bass with the Empire/JICO setup, and a perfect alternative cartridge for my budget stereo!

Good job

A different brand of stylus cartridge was on my record player, which I discovered when I bought the record player brand of replacement needle, and it didn't fit. I sent photos, and they were able to identify the correct stylus. It works!

9.1 Belt

Works great and a good value.

Replacement for Sears 91827 stylus
Brent Shoemaker (Arlington, US)
Exactly what I needed for my 70’s record player

Perfect fit - thanks

Excellent product

Have tried the replacements from the uk and all were sub standard. This one however coming in from America is a different matter. Sound quality is fantastic what a difference from British products. One drawback was delivery charges.
