Headshell suggestion for my Pioneer PL600 (dir drive)?


I have (had) an Ortofon 2M Bronze whose needle has seen its last album. I was wanting to upgrade to a moving coil cartridge, Hana ML tops my list. My Ortofon is an all in 1 cartridge, so I am needing a headshell. Since this would be a cartridge upgrade for me, any suggestions for a headshell that would be a good match? Aluminum? Wood? Carbon fiber?

The turntable is plugged into my Gold Note PH10, so the low output cartridge wouldn't be an issue

"NOROMANCE: I would avoid carbon fiber and wood at this point."

 

Is that due to the sonics or cost (or some other reason)?

So a light weight magnesium headshell with adjustable azimuth and does not require mounting only from below...

Thankfully my turntable has a removable headshell. And the cartridge I am looking at is probably the Hana ML
