Lightweight, Rigid Aluminum Body
This removable headshell features a lightweight, rigid aluminum construction that weighs 6.93g (0.24oz) without wires and 7.8g (0.28oz) with wires. It reduces total tonearm mass, resulting in improved responsiveness for smooth analog playback. Its secure locking collar ensures a firm, aligned connection between the headshell and the tonearm.
Straight Tonearm & Cartridge Compatibility
The HS86L Turntable Headshell's optimized mass and 1/2-inch mount are compatible with a wide range of moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. With a 24° offset angle for straight tonearms and an SME/H-4 bayonet connector, its universal compatibility means simple installation and effortless swapping.
Precision-Engineered Aluminum Construction
The high-precision aluminum body maintains cartridge alignment, low mass, and minimal resonance. This contributes to reduced vibration and cleaner sound details. With its finger-lift design, you can gently place the stylus on the groove and avoid scratching the vinyl.
Enhanced Signal Transmission with Premium Lead Wires
The HS86L's gold-plated connectors result in pure signal transfer during playback. Color-coded lead wires simplify cartridge installation. Designed for multiple pre-mounted cartridge applications, the headshell lets you switch between playback preferences without re-wiring every time.
Cartridge Upgradability for Your Listening Preference
The removable headshell's compatibility, precision fit, and lightweight aluminum body lets you experiment with different sound signatures, like MM cartridges to bring out the warmth of bass-heavy tracks, MC cartridges to highlight the subtle shimmer of cymbals, or a 78 RPM cartridge for vintage shellac records. A different counterweight may be required to balance your cartridge weight.
