AKG P8e cartridge coils are known to go bad ?


It seems that the cartridge coils of the p6, p7, p8 open up over time, and it's not a matter of wire connections to the pins. This makes for an impossible fix.

The specs on these models all look the same electrically, so they should be interchangeable - does anyone know for sure? I'm looking for a good cartridge body to use with my p8es stylus.

Your responses are appreciated, but I specifically stated coil failure i.e. 'open coils', where a break in the wire occurs or the soldering of the wire to the rear pin depletes. Googling turned up more than a few complaints to this with AKG cartridges.
