Headhsell leads on SME V


I was changing the cartridge on my arm and one of the headshell leads broke. I switched the one that had the problem but now it only works in mono (only one speaker responds). I don't have a complete set so I just replaced the defective lead with a spare I had lying around and noticed another one of the SME leads was breaking so I switched that as well. So now there are two ortofon leads and two sme leads attached to the arm. Could this be causing any problems or is it just that it's a connection issue?

Only one of the speakers is responding. The other one does not work. I know its not an issue with any of the other equipment as I have a second tonearm and I tried that out.
I checked the order and that is fine. I also tried different cartridges. And I changed the leads, not the clips. I'm thinking Hifihvn might be right about one of the wires being defective.
Problem solved. Hifihvn was right. Only the insulation was touching the terminal on one of the leads.
