Look like nickel plugs so unlikely to be anything special in terms of materials although they may sound great!! Try them.Originally Posted by andyrlb

Yup, I have a set myself.
They were from Tandy, called Tandy Goldpatch, and back in the day they were actually quite well thought of.

I'm nigel.
I too have a pair....I think mine were from Maplins.
Not too shabby for the price, I definitely noticed a gain over cheapie leads supplied with a budget CDP.
I replaced my pair with a fancy plugged, thick sleeved lead from QED and to be honest noted no real improvement
The QED was five times more expensive so after bitching about the wifes new shoes, i of course hid the reciept.
