Magnesium headhells for a Dynavector?

I was wondering if any of you might know of a current production magnesium headshell that will work as a replacement for the original Dynavector tonearm headshell???

The Dynavector 507 tonearm/XV1 combo is just too sluggish for me but i do enjoy the cartridge!

Thanks for your help...

Dear Isanchez: Audiofeil is right, like Rap posted the headshell is 4 pin.

Btw, Johnny53 you can't use that AT headshell because the XV-1 must be screwed from the top not other way and the AT design is to cartridges that can fix on it from the cartridge below side.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Isanchez: It is not only that the magnesium headshell works beter because the magnesium but because the original Nagaoka ( magnesium ) has a weight of 10 grs.

Btw, those Nagaoka that you can see around ( including the one Johnny53 posted )are not made by Nagaoka, are not made of magnesium but aluminum and weights over 14grs. IMHO the one to go is for the original one ( hard to find ) and/or for the Denon one. I already try both on the XV-1 with the 505 and with other tonearms and makes a difference for the better specially on the Dyna tonearm.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Johnnyb53: All those similar headshells are OEM ones made for the same builder. There are other sources for that " same " Nagaoka.
