Magnesium headhells for a Dynavector?

Does the Dynavector use the SME type connection or is it unique to them?

The Dynavector tonearm uses the standard 5 PIN connector, so any standard headshell can be used with the 507 tonearm.

In my experience with the Dynavector XV1s cartridge, getting the overhang and particularly the null points absolutely right is paramount in getting the best sound.

You cant try and find a Nagaoka magnesium headshell, which is lighter than the stock Dyna headshell. I've experimented in lighter headshells, such as the Sumiko one, and they do tend to speed things up.

To lighten up the stock headshell, I've removed the hook from the headshell with very good results. Just make sure the no cartridge is mounted if you remove the hook.

The "the standard 5 PIN connector" I've never seen, a 4 pin one is another thing. ;)

That's how it's usually described. My guess is that the fifth pin is the vertical alignment pin. You can get more information about it here.
