I guess such a high damping headshell does a a part of the plastic job.
Tom, btw, your Shure 35C, was it US or Mexican made, do you know? Are differences drastic?
The schick headshell is 350e and not that good, I've tried one. You can get exactly the same effects by buying a graphite headshell from eBay. There is no evidence on his website that his design is any better than what's available at a considerably cheaper price, hence the sarcasm.
