    Not cheap, but IMO the best there is. The only cartridge they cannot house are the EMT XSDs
    Yes I've looked at these in the past.
    I would really like one of these!

    Main reason I sold it ... as space got tight I was more and more nervous. Also it only took 5 headshells.

    Hi Adam.

    I quite like the 'Headshell Hotel' .... towards the bottom of this page ...

    https://www.esotericsound.com/access.htm

    Doesn't indicate how the headshells are secured, but the fact itcan be wall-mounted seems to imply there are proper solid mounting arrangements, not just inserted in flimsy foam?

    Hi Peter..
    Thanks for that.
    That looks nice! I love the name 'Headshell Hotel'

    It would be good to see the mounting arrangement within the 'Hotel'.

    Enjoy the NEBO 10 gathering this weekend. We will await your report!

    The Fidelity Research cartridge keeper case does not simply have the cartridges "inserted in flimsy foam". The cartridges (mounted in their headshells) are each mounted in a solid EIA/SME type socket, which can be lifted vertically when storing or removing the cartridge.

    Hi Barry
    Yes I have my eye on the FR option,
    Eye watering expensive as they are.
    But a great looking solution
