Arche Headshell and Technics 1200G


I am not sure if any other 1200G users have tried this headshell on their 1200G arm but I can say that so far after a couple hours of listening that it seems to be working very well.  Has anyone else tried this combination?

Why would it not "work"?  The only question to consider is whether the cartridge compliance matches well with the weight differential between the Arche and the OEM headshell.  I would imagine that the Arche is a bit on the heavy side, so would work well with low compliance cartridges, but you do not say what cartridge you are using.  Once you know the match of compliance and effective mass is acceptable, the Arche does seem to present a few advantages in terms of adjusting VTA and azimuth, vs any standard headshell.
