The Goldring G800 was a popular choice for the Garrard SP25

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.

Same here.

Pinky, did you ever try loading it properly? Defined load was 47K in
parallel with 470pF. Most amps, mine included presented about 200pF,
and the cables accounted for about 90pF, so I made some phono in-lines
with 150pF in them. The difference was staggering - the edginess all
gone, smoother, easier on th ear, and (to my ears) better bass.

To late to try it now no doubt?
