WTB: Headshell for Technics 1210

[Elephantears]

I'll consider anything; standard, Sumiko, or otherwise. However, it's a second system and an experiment at this stage, so I'd prefer something cheap to start with.

Hi

I have a mint (never used) Technics low mass headshell with a set of Ortofon 8N.LW10 headshell leads again mint and never used. I bought them to mount a Sonus Gold Blue but never got round to using it.
Not sure what you mean by cheap - full price for lot the would be around £60 so how about £40 plus postage?

PM me if interested

The Technics headshells go for £20 new. Is it the leads that are making it expensive? I'm a little ignorant here, but I do have some old leads that were on my Ittok when I bought it, so if I can use them I won't need the extra leads.

Yes - the leads were £40

Hi

I have for sale an ADC LMG-1 magnesium headshell.

It is in excellent condition with all the cartridge leads and original box.

Looking £30 inc p & p.

I'd buy Andy's ADC LMG-1

I'm pretty sure I have several different headshells at home, I also have some Audioquest litz head shell leads which are very good indeed on the Techy.
I can't use any of them in my current set up:lol:

I'll check later and post back....

Thanks for the offers folks. Suddenly an embarrassment of riches! I'll make my cart decision tomorrow and come back here then.

Me too - a great headshell, and similar weight to the OEM 'shell which means it'll work well with more compliant MM carts. :)

In fact if Andrew doesn't want it I'll probably have it.

Hi Rob,

In case you didn't know, those spacers/headshell weights are ferrous, and therefore magnetic. And so not good things, sonically, to be put anywhere near a cartridge...

DJ's use them to add mass to their Stanton 500s, but they're definitely not recommended for audiophile use. It would be a very quick way to ruin the sound from your cartridge!

Anyway, just thought I'd let you know :)

+1 Marco,I've never used them myself, just seem to have 'acquired' them some how or other....

Never used the lead one either actually.
