I use the stock Technics headshell with my AT-33PTG/II on a Technics SL-1800MKII. I was concerned about weight of the headshell. I mounted the cartridge using bolts&nuts that are slightly longer than needed and upside down. That way the threaded ends extend a bit above the headshell. That configurations allowed me secure that little additional weight that came with my Denon DL-103 cartridge. I didn’t notice a huge difference. Adjusting the VTA helped too.
Headshell recommendations for AT33SA on SL1200G
Hello
I am planning to upgrade my cart to an AT33SA on my SL1200G, but I'm a little confused about whether this would require me to also change the headshell (low compliance cart, resonance frequency etc.).
Can I keep the standard headshell, or should I upgrade to something heavier? Can I go as heavy as an Audio-Technica LH/OCC AT-LH for example?
Many thanks!
