From The Grave
I've played with a variety of different headshells and keep settling back on the two heavy-duty Dynavector headshells which I use with my Shelter 5000 and AT33PTG cartridges. There seem to be two considerations: mass and torsional rigidity. Mine come into the high mass and high rigidity category. I guess the carbon fibre 'shells would be the choice for low mass and high rigidity.
I've used Sumikos, which are ok, and some Japanese Ortofons which look more like they were created for the DJ market.
Stop press: I've found my long lost ADC cast headshell and will put it back into service sometime, perhaps with the Denon DL-160.
I like my new Oyaide headshell. :thumbsup:
I'm currently trying out a Stanton 681EEE on mySL1200. Weight of the cart is 6.3g - what would be a good headshell to go for? At a sensible price, naturally.

Macca, l used a stock Technics headshell and a Sumiko model and they both sounded good, the Sumiko a little better, hope this helps:)
The Sumiko would not be too heavy/massy? At £39 delivered looks good for a punt.
The Sumiko is a medium weight headshell and a pretty good all-rounder.
Okay - I'm unlocking the perspex cover that protects the 'Buy It Now' button...:eyebrows:Quote:
