The AT33Sa has a compliance of around 17-18 @ 10Hz, so it's not particularly low. The stock headshell should work just fine, but the Audio-Technica AT-LH series of headshells measure better than most available alternatives and might be a
(very)
slight upgrade.
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!

Hi, I am running a Technics turntable with an AT33Sa cartridge and the standard head shell that came with the table. I went to a heavier Technics headshell and the combination was too heavy. I went back to the original head shell and everything sounds great. Try the one that came with the table before you spend more money is my suggestion. carter |
Look for Ortofon LH-9000 Resonance Free headshell, i hope you can find used one for reasonable price, new one is expensive. It's heavier than stock Technics and it has azimuth adjustment. |
