Not sure how to mount or calibrate your cartridge and want it done to perfection? We've got you covered with our Pre-Calibrated series cartridges. This service is offered for the following brands: Sumiko - Hana - Lyra - Ortofon - DS Audio General:This is the real deal. Be careful of shoddy reproductions (price includes shipping). Perfect for your beloved SL-1200G, SL-1300G, SL-1200GR2, SL-1500C or any of the many vintage SL-1200s. We purchase these directly from Technics. There are lots of models available, some with logos, some without, some with gold plated contacts, some that look like gold but are brass, while others are un-coated. We went through the painstaking task of ordering every single model they offer to dealers to identify the best one. Super high-quality despite its simple looks, we've found it difficult to find a better headshell without spending over $500. This OEM Technics headshell features an adjustable azimuth, meaning you can fine-tune the vertical alignment of your phono cartridge's stylus relative to the record's surface. Azimuth adjustment ensures that the stylus sits perfectly perpendicular to the grooves, optimizing sound quality. When the azimuth is properly set, both the left and right channels of your stereo signal are balanced reducing distortion and improving stereo separation. If the azimuth is off, you may notice an imbalance in the audio that presents itself as a "muddier" sound. Being able to adjust the azimuth provides flexibility for achieving the best possible playback and preserving your records. In addition to the adjustable azimuth, this headshell includes leads with gold plated connectors, and the bayonet pin is rounded over. Knockoff headshells will have hard cut bayonet pins that can actually damage the headshell socket in the arm.
