If you're going to invest that much in a turntable, a better headshell can certainly be a good investment if you have a resolving system, which it appears you do. It appears that the 1200G headshell includes one important feature that many headshells don't - azimuth adjustment. Having said that, a headshell that handles resonance well and has better connectors and wiring can make a difference. I personally like the LP Gear Zupreme headshells, which are made by Jelco.
Help with TT for my System
Hello, and thank you in advance for your time and sharing your expertise: my system is a VAC Phi 200 in two - channel mode, and a VAC Standard preampsifier, which I found used and sent it to the factory to have an MC phono preamp added to it. According to Kevin Hayes, he fitted the best MC preamp he had ever included in one of these with an output of around 0.35mu. I also own a near new Ortofon Cadenza Bronze cartridge, and my speakers are a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolutions. My connections are a totally different subject. I would like to spend around $4K or less on a used or new turntable, with ease of operation due to my age. All the best, Ken
