Magnesium or Aluminum Headshell

[RobbieGong]

Which one is 'better' for an mc in a medium mass arm ?

Depends on the particular headshell and the connecting wires.

But in seriousness its never that simple .......

Done my 'homework' and gonna stick with what i know.
Have had great results with the ADC LMG 1 which is very light indeed at 7g and a headshell I like.

As such I've decided to stick with Magnesium but a little more weight at 12g,
Ortofon do an Aluminium one at 14g that they recommend for the Quintet series ( I have the Quintet Black) but as I say a nicely made 12g Magnesium headshell has caught my eye.
It comes with good OFC leads but I'm going to stick with the Ortofon silver headshell leads I use.

I think that the little bit of extra weight in my medium mass arm should work well the QB mc.
The headshell is very nicely priced too so nothing to lose.
