Universal headshell recommendations.....


I have been trying, with no luck, to purchase an Orsonics headshell. As an alternative, please suggest a good sounding after market headshell, Audio Technica, Micro Seiki, Sumiko. I have also seen that Ortofon has a new wood headshell available, which is a bit spendy, but looks promising. Any and all guidance is greatly appreciated.

I have original Orsonic light weight headshell and Audio-Technica Technihard heavier headshell in mint- condition. I could sell both since i have Zyx Live-18 headshell to keep. Let me know if you need it (chakster45 on gmail). Another good option is Audio Craft headshells. Depends on the weight you are looking for. 
If you like additional distortions then buy that Orsonic from chakster.

Paying for headshell distortions comes for free, uhaha

If you want to follow Raul don't forget about 350 different sets of led wires to try :) 


I'm not a seller, so that's fine, no problem, your comments always welcome Raul.

I think Orsonic quite popular among audiophiles anyway. Different strokes for different folks.

I just tried to help to Viridian (he said he couldn't find one).  

P.S. No more headache, no more headshells or led wires for me.

I'm happy to use Reed 3P tonearm with stock cryo wires from cartridge pins to phono stage. I can't change "the headshell" and it a great option, lol
