    Any recommendations for new headshell leads? Best value for money?

    They will be used mainly on Dynavector headshells on a DV505 arm, which afaik has its original wiring, with a Cardas Golden Cross phono cable.

    Anyone use these Sumiko HL59, or Audioquest HL5?

    Or would it be worthwhile going for the Cardas or van den Hul ones at 3-5x the price of the others?

    Its such a short signal path, and I'm "thrifty" aka tight a&$e, so I'm leaning towards the $20 Sumiko/Audioquest spectrum.

    Or is this false economy?

    Do you mean the sumiko hl29? These are what I use, they look nice. I couldn't find any reference to the hl59 so if they exist I am not sure how they differ.

    Thanks Monkeyman, but as I'm in NZ they won't ship them here. Those connectors look the business.

    Yes, typo should be hl29 :o
