When one lead gets "flappy" the wire has broken and is being held in place by the shrink tubing. You don't need to redo all four. Use a razor to slice open the shrink.
Tonearm lead connection on last leg
I have a VPI Prime. I think my tonearm lead where the red wire connects to the connector is about to break completely and sever the connection altogether.
I think this for two reasons, the right channel seems to not be not equal to the left in output. And yes I’ve changed interconnects, switched them from left to right, changed carts, and aligned to the n’th degree. I guess what I’m saying is I’ve eliminated all the other variables, which leads me to the second reason I think it might be a bad connection: where the wire connects to the actual lead it’s not a stiff connection like the other wires,
on the head shell, it’s very “flappy”.
I’m not opposed to trying to fix this myself I’d like to know if anyone else has tried this and could give me their experience or thoughts.
Thanks
