Thanks for the comments. I appreciate it!! I do have all the alignment tools, i.e. Technics overhang gauge, protractor, VTA gauge, micro bubble level, and Fozgometer V2 with test record. I can get the center/left/right channels fine tuned with the tools available to me. I did find one product that may/may not work. It's the Audio Technica AT-LH13/OCC Headshell which is available in Europe but not in the USA. I reached out to the Danish vendor to see if the overhang adjustment will dial out to what the Technics table requires. We'll see how that goes. If not, I will continue using currently available headshells.
Need Simple, Easy-to-Use "Goof Proof" Audio Headshell Recommendation
I just installed a new cartridge on my Technics SL-1210GR turntable using the stock headshell. It took a couple of hours to complete including setup and alignment. Afterward, I thought there must be an easier way to perform this task. Does a headshell exist which includes threaded inserts (underside) to accommodate multiple overhang settings, i.e. 52mm? Ideally, I want the cartridge to install square to the headshell automatically, provide the correct overhang for my turntable (avoid the use of nuts which I dislike), and offer azimuth adjustment. I heard AT has a headshell like this but the threaded insert options available exclude Technics 52mm overhang setting. Any thoughts from the audiophile community on this topic? Cost, while always a concern, is not paramount since I would pay to avoid a multi-hour cartridge installation activity. Thanks for your help!
