Shell lead wire, cartridge lead wire, Western Electric USSR

Replacing the lead wires is an easy and highly effective way to improve sound quality in record playback. We hope you will give it a try.

This is our most popular product, the 1960s Western Electric 24GA cartridge lead wire, Brown Sugar, enhanced with rare 1950s USSR (former Russian) blue silk dark brown enameled 0.125mm solid core wire, assembled into custom gold-plated tips. This Blue Train model retains the characteristic mid-range punch of Western Electric while incorporating the deep low-end and high frequencies of the USSR blue silk, making it one of our high-end lead wires.

You can enjoy a unique acoustic experience that cannot be achieved with a single type of wire alone, blending the dry, USA-made soundstage of Western Electric with the delicate characteristics of the former Russian USSR, which conveys rich lows and even the tremble of reverberation. If you enjoyed Brown Sugar, this sound is sure to become your main choice, so we hope you will try it.

We have crafted custom tips that are highly resistant to accidental breakage during attachment and detachment, which is a common issue with lead wires. The tips are designed for easy installation, making them difficult to fail even for those new to replacing lead wires. They are highly durable, so you can enjoy replacing the lead wires multiple times, as they are unlikely to break even when bent tightly. In the unlikely event of damage, we will ship a replacement. The standard length is approximately 4.5cm including the terminal. Length can be adjusted upon request.

You will be able to feel the performer's nuances more deeply and achieve a level of resolution and depth that allows you to understand the intentions of mixing and mastering. Sounds that might be harsh with regular lead wires become completely different with these lead wires made from highly pure materials. Of course, sound preferences vary from person to person, but with vintage wires, you can improve sound quality to a degree that is immediately noticeable.

The connection terminals (tips) can be easily adjusted to fit the size of your cartridge and head terminals.
