Without pictures it makes no sense. You need to have an online site that hosts your pictures, and then you can grab them and attach them to your thread.
Does this make sense
My first ever post please be gentle but I would like an honest opinion am I wasting my time?
Not sure this is even the correct location for such posts ?
Also
1- I’m no audiophile but I do like and always have liked analog sound over digital
2- The following is just a prototype things will get more refined this is only a test fit
3- I usually make watches but got this idea a while back and i finally made this...
Besides the obvious tilting mechanism Ill let the pictures do the talking
Well I guess I need to learn how to post pictures

It’s a P mount headshell. It has a arm finger lift. It has a fine tuning adjustment screw to dial in the cartridge/stylus alignment. Mass of the headshell? Just a guess it is low. No more than a standard P mount headshell.

The only TT's that have P mount headshells are for DJ and commercial applications. A lot of the carts that are designed for P mounts don't need a headshell. The P mount connection is part of the phono cart and connects directly. That's why all those TT's have S arms. You can't adjust them. Yours you can because you can mount a regular cart on it. I guess what I'm trying to say here is I don't really see a need for what you made. And that's not meant to be a negative comment. Your headshell is really well made. If I ever needed a mount like that, I would use it without hesitation. |
OP, maybe this might help....It's obviously a collectable, at minimum... ;) |
Apparently, not as clunky as one might think........check this out.... ;) I'm a tangential arm fan myself....2 Rabco's, one Teac, and Garrard Z-100 'mutant' *L* Used to own a Technics SL-8 but stupid enough to let it go away....😣 I just saw a release on this Beo TT the other day.....Beautiful....*sigh* 35K$....'a pittance'....Uh, yeah.... |

iseland How much would you ask for a headshell? 🙂 I was not planning on selling these really this is not what I normally make but if there was interest and if my limited time allows I'm willing to look into making some as for the price I have no clue all I can say is apart from the Cad time fabrication took me around 15h -------------- As for why I made this I wanted to test out and understand the tracking error of a sweeping arm as compared to a tangent I know there is an reading error induced by the sweeping arc of a non tangent and thought this could mitigate the error slightly the only thing is it would have to be adjusted for every track on an album is it worth it? no clue LOL if so one would need a way say a scale type device on the pivot point allowing you to adjust the angle of the cartridge to the track/position your playing |
