I've got my eyes on a headshell with adjustable azimuth and overhang:
https://eu.audio-technica.com/hifi-phono/hifi-accessories/AT-LH13OCC
But it would take the effective tonearm weight to 17.5g. Paired with the AT33PTGii (6.8g + 0.5g fixings), the resonancy calculator gives me a reading of 10hz - well inside the "green zone". If heavier headshells are not viewed favourably on this arm (being low mass), why does this reading look so agreeable? Anything I should be concerned about? I have an auxillary counterweight and KAB tonearm damper to help balance the arm and tame resonance issues, but just a bit cautious because of previous advice I've read to keep it light on the techie.
Cosmetically speaking, these 2 bits of kit would really look the part together.
Cheers,

EDIT: This headshell appears to have fixed offset...not sure that will prove very helpful in doing ultra fine alignments, in the case of working with tonearm tolerances..
