ADJ Products TT-HEADSHELL Turntable Cartridge

Very good product. Landing price at my home in India becomes costly (almost double the base price) as the item is imported from US. I don't understand why amazon charges import / customs duty for such low priced items. There must be a monetary ceiling upto which one can import goods from foreign for personal use without paying customs duty. Besides that, amazon has made the entire process of importing very smooth and hassle free. Delivery by Aramex was excellent too.Thanks

Good product

Very bad. Alignment of shell and Headshell does not match. Poor quality of workmanship. Inferior cable used.

Leve, bem acabado e já com os cabinhos, é uma ótima aquisição.

Quality headshell fits my Technics SL-1700 tonearm perfectly snug and solid. My Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge installed with no issues and proper setup was a breeze!

This headshell is almost identical to the Technics OEM shells in appearance, weight and design. It pairs up very well with the Numark Groove Tool cart and stylus which is very well priced here on Amazon. I’m attaching a pic with this review, as mounted on a MCS 6601 turntable, which is somewhere around the Technics SL-1900 or SL-2000, great tables. No frills, good quality headshell for the money. Be sure to download and print out an alignment protractor to line up your cartridge in the headshell so you don't end up with noise, you should do this any time you move your cart to a new headshell. Baerwald alignment is probably the easiest for newbies, and VinylEngine website has printable alignment tools for free download. If you see any reviews complaining about noise on this product, there's a solid chance the reviewer didn't properly align their cartridge in the shell!

The four wires were not securely attached to the pins in the headshell so had to be removed, tightened slightly and fully pushed on to make good contact. I also found that the insulating sleeves were loose and rattled in use, causing a low-level, buzzy distortion! I just took them off as they are superfluous when the terminals are firmly connected. Apart from that, I like the long mounting screw slots that allow accurate stylus alignment and the soft spacer for the socket on the tone arm.

Se monto con una capsula ortofon reloop, trae los cables para el montaje, es de buena calidad y se monta perfecto a las technics 1200.
