The Goldring G800 was a popular choice for the Garrard SP25
in the good old days. It sounded curiously wooden.

It could be helped along by altering the capacitive loading. One
genuine case where the choice of cable really did have an effect.

I preferred the Shure M75 (when cheap and nasty was all I could
afford.)

Could be. I only used a cheap and cheerful G800E when by Decca was
off for fixing. And they kept them in stores. ;-)

In the US cartridges like the Shure M3D, M3D/N21 filled the bill for arms
that were too massy and/or had too much friction.

I used a GL75 for several years, both the Goldring G800E and the Shure
M75ED seemed quite happy in it.
