Bought some new 1210's, and need some help!

I snapped off one of the lead wires from the technics headshell. Learned my lesson there, luckily had a spare headshell.
I'll be trying out some new cartridges, wiring configs. Hopefully it solves the problem

My bet is that this was the problem.

You need all the wires correctly installed (read the cartridge manual) for this to work.

No no, I hooked up some more perfectly fine after that. I'm just concerned about the crossing of the wires (nothing I can do about that)

What do you mean crossed them, like just how it sounds, or like the red is plugged in where the green goes type thing?

[madmeesh]

crossed as in white -> white, red -> red, etc. but they are physically crossed. I thought maybe that was wrong, but I asked a buddy and he said that was normal. He thinks its the angle of the needle, but I'm not so sure.

grounding?
