    Technics SH-98 any good? I have one here unused but I nicked the wires for another headshell... £25 delivered.
    It's the one with the sliding cartridge carrier, magnesium, as supplied with their more upmarket cartridges and turntables around 1981 ish. Standard fitment on SL-1200 at the time I believe...

    These cast alloy generic headshells are just as rigid as others, well made and come with add on weights if needed.

    I have a handful of these, they are very effective.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
