G'day "Chopsrr"... :)

Please forgive my ignorance mate, but what make are those headshell cables/connectors? They look to be very nice quality... 8)

Howdy everyone, thought I'd poke my head in and post my 1st. I'm usually busy with all kinds of stuff, but here's a pic of my latest restored to greatness ADC XLM original, with a newly grafted cantilever on an AKG pole piece for the magnetic induction (gold color). The stylus is a nude elliptical on a short aluminum stub, from a NOS Ortofon - the diamonds they had 25 years ago were notably better than today's usual production.

Tracking great at 1.05 grams and sounding fabulous - giving my FR I mk3 with a recent boron tube/microridge graft a good run for the money, and way better than the original stylus.22358

The EMPIRE 2002 EE comes off an old Sony belt drive from the 70s that needs serious servicing. I have it in the attic but want to use this on a new turntable coming in the mail this week.

I am also posting my new SHURE m97xe CARTRIDGE I BOUGHT.

Not installed yet obviously but still pretty to look at no? Came with a metal case, didn't expect that.
