Only precision ground theads in high quality carbon steel really qualify for acceptance from a sonics point of view. and these are not to be found on the ends of Jelco or even SME arms to my knowledge.
Mike, I'm aware that fixed headshell is sonically better, but I'll still prefer the removable solution. So the Q is: will your 12'' extension deal with tonearms like Jelco ?
Thank you
