RE: Residual "Buzz" on my P3-24, TT-PSU (???)

Hi

I think the metal base on the 2M's green pin is probably the visible part of the strap connecting it to the cartridge's metal screening can, which encloses the coils. That's how it is usually done, anyway (I've had other Ortofon MMs, and Goldring and Shure cartridges, with this system). This contacts the pin itself, so pulling the connecting lead slightly out won't make any difference: one has to pull the strap off (it is normally a sliding fit into the screening can). The disadvantage is that this is hard to reverse.

Of course, the can is rather deeply buried in the 2M's body structure, though it is actually the same shape as the corresponding part in the OM series (where the external shape follows its contours very closely) and 500 series cartridges.
