Long headshell required


Greetings from Oz!

I have a turntable and arm combination where I need to use a longer headshell to fully optimize the alignment.  Most headshells are effectively 50mm as you are aware.  I would like 60mm or even a little more length.

Appreciate your suggestions

Are you talking about a common universal headshell? If so, your request suggests something else is off in your alignment, such as the P2S distance. It might help to know the pickup arm that you are using.

Because of the base of the tonearm, EPA100, being so large it is difficult to move it closer to the platter and hence the P2S distance is short.   Having a longer headshell will rectify this, rather than dig into the plinth.

Appreciate your suggestions

I don't think you can offset a P2S distance that is too short by increasing overhang, @koala.

If the arm base is "so large" making it difficult to locate closer to platter, then the P2S distance will be longer not shorter.
