This ingenious device enables all the benefits of a parallel tracker without the hassles (pumps etc).
This is the SPU version which gives correct tracking weight once the SPU cartridge has been transplanted. These are £295 new which is what I paid, looking for £120 including RMSD.
Really worth a look if you have an SPU in an older headshell, it actually sounds better than the standard earlier plastic SPU shell in my opinion as it's quite resonant ... it’s the same weight and stylus positioning, so minimal re-setting required.
I once tried it out on an friend's arm that we knew was a bit out for SPU, and the headshell corrected for it impeccably getting rid of the tracking error that was previously Many arms (SME for example) don't have the correct geometry for SPU if used with standard headshells. This corrects for that sufficiently without needing to move the arm to a different location.
Video here for the 10g non SPU version but the principle is the same:
