Little cables between Headshell and Cartridge

Hi Guys, I have an old pair of Headshells and I just Bought a pair of Statnton 680 EL II Cartridges, but thouse little cables of the Headshells are very dirty, old and Oxyde.. I was wondering if that could interfer in the quality of the sound.... i seacrched of some shops to buy those little cables but i didnt found it.. well.. I just hope u can give me a little help for what to do..

Thanks in Advance

the sound quality could be affected...
but since you bought new carts, shouldn't you have gotten new cables with them?

Not necessarily. You don�t often get new head shells when you buy a new set of carts. That is of course, unless they are one of them all in one jobs. And since the cables are part and parcel of the head shell...

I belive they would affect the sound. I recommend buying some cheap headshells.. stanton headshell for about 11 bucks a piece
